With Wonderful Thanks to The Office of the President of the General Assembly
The Human Rights Game is an inspirational learning tool that uplifts the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the United Nations. The UDHR, the most translated document in the world, takes on a new life asking players to think critically about their own personal and collective actions. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the Human Rights Game provides a timely opportunity for young people, educators, and their families to discuss and problem-solve effective ways to honor and protect the practice of freedom, equality, and dignity. This interactive experience creates a space for relationship-building and shaping of civic life through a lens of human rights and responsibilities. The Human Rights Game not only enables deep reflection on issues facing schools and communities today but through suggested follow-up discussion and community project development has the potential to infuse positive energy to work together for a hope-filled, healthy and sustainable tomorrow.
