NIHRC spoke to Learning for Life and Work (LLW) pupils about its role in promoting and protecting the human rights of everyone in Northern Ireland.

 

 

The topic formed part of their Citizenship module.

The virtual presentation focused on the importance of the human rights that everyone in society has.

Year 11 students examined which human rights they were entitled to, how some rights are absolute, and which rights can be limited in certain circumstances.

 

 

The GCSE pupils also were also shown the NIHRC’s latest short film ‘It Seems’, which focuses on climate and human rights and features Belfast poet Niamh McNally.

NIHRC Chief Commissioner, Les Allamby, commented, “The Commission is very grateful to have been given the opportunity to discuss its work with LLW pupils at the Abbey CBS.

 

 

“It is an important function of the Commission that we engage in raising awareness of our work and that includes making students aware of what human rights they are entitled to.

Les added, “We thank the Abbey for inviting us to present, and wish the students every success with the rest of their Citizenship module.”

“The students were fully engaged throughout the presentation and benefitted greatly from the experience.
