It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

John Mayer, Waiting on the World to Change

Mudar o mundo é mudar os ponteiros onde se marca o bem e o mal. Não quer dizer pô-los ao contrário, mas dar-lhes andamento certo.

A vontade de transformar o mundo. Desgraçado do povo que não compreende isso: ele não tem génio. E triste do poeta que não sente assim, porque ele não tem simpatia pela vida. 

 

Agustina Bessa-Luís*, Mudar o Mundo

Opera Omnia, Dicionário Imperfeito, 

Guimarães Editores, Lisboa, Junho 2008

To my friends and colleagues

May we take the time to be happy and healthy

How much it means to us family and friends

To have them in our lives.

Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2024!

November in Review & Human Rights Day 75 : #ItStartsWithMe

 

Human Rights Day

https://www.un.org/

"The Universal Declaration shows the way to common values and approaches that can help resolve tensions and create the security and stability our world craves."

Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General 

10 December 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). 

This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

The Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 and sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.  

The year-long Human Rights 75 initiative seeks to shift the needle of understanding and action towards greater knowledge of the universality of the UDHR and the activism associated with it.

• Theme 2023 : Freedom, Equality  and Justice for All 

In the (nearly) 75 years since the proclamation of the UDHR, human rights have advanced. However, progress does not mean the fight for rights and equality ever ends. 

On Human Rights Day, 10 December 2023, we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Declaration, a milestone celebration called Human Rights 75 (HR 75). Human Rights Day will capture all the moments from this year’s commemoration and seeks to increase knowledge on the universality and indivisibility of human rights, especially among young people, inspire people to create a movement of shared humanity while empowering them to fight for their rights and take action.

Human rights gain new meaning when they become a reality in the daily life of every single person in the world.

• Activities:

Motivate your students to join UDHR/ UN on the 75-day countdown to Human Rights Day on 10 December. Each day we'll be sharing stories, videos, fun facts and more to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Declaration.

If there was ever a moment to rekindle the hope of human rights for every person, it is now. And this moment will last throughout 2023 and beyond – a year of commemoration of one of the world’s most ground-breaking international commitments. 

The UDHR calls upon everybody to stand up for human rights. We all have a role to play.

Cross-curricular : Civics; History; Languages; Geography; Arts ; Sports ; History Music.

Level: All levels. You must adapt the resources and activities to the age and level you are teaching.
