Questa attività davvero stimolante per gli studenti propone una riflessione sui diritti umani attraverso l'analisi della dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite e di un breve cortometraggio.
È particolarmente indicata nella ricorrenza del 10 dicembre, giorno della celebrazione annuale; il materiale propone anche una preziosa lista di links da poter utilizzare per permettere agli studenti di sviluppare ulteriormente la riflessione su questo tema.
