This resource pack has been developed by Amnesty International Ireland in consultation with an advisory and piloting group of primary school teachers. The concept for the resource pack originated with primary school teachers who identified storytelling as a powerful medium through which a range of concepts and topics can be introduced in the classroom. Human rights issues can appear daunting, distant and theoretical. Through the familiar medium of storytelling, human rights situations can be explored on a level at which children can encounter the real life impact of human rights in practice. Engaging with stories through discussion, creative thinking and character exploration develops the skill of empathy. This brings about the realisation that human rights belong to everyone and that we all have a role to play in ensuring that human rights are protected locally and globally.
