events described and how they impacted upon the person’s health. Groups were given a
case study and asked to use a tree diagram to write out the health-related problems in the
person’s life. In the bomb shelter scenario, groups were given a list of 10 people who differed
in background and were instructed to pick four people to save and explain the reason for
those choices.
Why do you consider this good practice?
Teachers help pupils/students to understand our common humanity through an appreciation
of human dignity and needs and the principles of human rights. Experiential learning
activities stimulate students’ appreciation of social justice and responsibility and help them
to apply this knowledge to access their own rights and defend the rights of others (attitudes
and values indicator).
Pupils/students have regular opportunities to openly discuss issues, practice their debating
skills and try to influence others. They have opportunities to engage in dialogues, listen to
others and articulate their own views opinions and emotions (key skills indicator).
