‘Rights and freedoms in practice – teaching resources’ is a new education pack published by the Council of Europe. Designed for secondary school teachers, it makes both a theoretical and a practical contribution to classroom discussion of human rights with pupils aged 14 to 18.It provides learners with vital information about the Strasbourg Organisation, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights and the way cases are dealt with. Nine worksheets – each focusing on a particular article of the Convention – illustrate the fundamental human rights that a democratic society should ensure.
