Human Rights Lesson Plans and Resources

Help your students explore the principles of dignity, fairness, and equality with this collection of human rights lesson plans. Designed for preK-12 teachers, these resources make it easy to introduce human rights in ways that are age-appropriate, engaging, and meaningful.

The 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), marked in 2023, reminded us of the enduring importance of these universal principles. Adopted in 1948, the UDHR was the first global declaration of rights for all people and continues to inspire human rights laws and movements worldwide. This milestone offers a chance to reflect on the progress made and the work that remains to achieve justice, equality, and dignity for all.

Whether you’re helping younger learners understand fairness and respect or guiding older students through the complexities of international human rights laws, these materials provide the support you need to create impactful lessons. By teaching these concepts, you’re equipping your students with the knowledge and skills to address challenges like inequality, discrimination, and injustice in the modern world.

Bring these lessons to your classroom and inspire the next generation to become compassionate, informed global citizens. Explore these human rights lesson plans and make a difference today!
