Within your school:

  • Run an awareness campaign - use posters, bulletin boards, the school newspaper to spread the message.
  • Get your Student Representative Council involved.
  • Make a presentation at your school assembly. 
  • Run a survey to get the views of others on the issue.
  • Hold a Human Rights Day at your local school.

  • Hold an event and invite guest speakers from the community to discuss and debate the issues.
  • Organise a meeting with your local Member of Parliament.
  • Set up a stall in the local shopping centre to share information (get the appropriate permission, of course).
