A class of 25 Grade 7 students will engage with this year’s Write for Rights cases by reading through the selected cases and choosing one or more to write letters about. Each student will craft a letter to the governing authority based on a provided template. Some students will also have the opportunity to write their letters in one or more languages, expanding the impact of their message. This activity encourages students to stand up for human rights and make their voices heard.
