The 8 Key Concepts in the Global Dimension

Human Rights and Responsibilities

Knowing about human rights and understanding their breadth and universality e.g.

• showing how our basic needs are universal
• teaching about the lives of those who have fought for human rights, both in Britain and the wider world
• teaching about bills of rights
• explaining why everyone is entitled to these rights and why we all have responsibilities to ensure these rights are met
