Education

A core part of Amnesty's work is promoting awareness of human rights through educational materials for use at school, college and home.

Our curriculum-integrated teaching resources help teachers bring human rights to life for young people of all ages, through education activities accompanied by teachers notes and actions for pupils to take.
