Amnesty International Bremen

Bremen-Weser-Ems district

In the Bremen-Weser-Ems region, there are approximately 20 groups that advocate for human rights. For those interested in Bremen and the surrounding area, we hold an information evening every first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm in our office at Villa Ichon (Goetheplatz 4). The evening lasts about one hour.

Offers

AI in schools We would be happy to visit your school to present the topic of "Human Rights" and Amnesty International's work. This can be done as part of regular lessons, a project day, or a project week. For an introduction, a presentation of at least two hours is recommended: "Amnesty International's Fight Against Human Rights Violations Worldwide." This concerns the following content:

• What are human rights?
• Where are they injured?
• What can we do about it?

The students should also deal with current cases and then have the opportunity to advocate for these victims of human rights violations by means of a petition or (self-written) letter. We can also cover specific topics in more detail:

• the death penalty
• torture
• Guantanamo and the fight against terrorism
• Refugees and asylum,
• Human rights violations against women
• Economy, arms and human rights
• Children as victims of violence/child soldiers
• or individual countries and regions (China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia,…)
• Human rights in Germany
• Israel/Palestine
• racism
• Religion and Human Rights
• human rights activists

We need at least a double lesson for each topic and believe that our topics are best suited for students from grade 9 upwards.

AI teacher distribution list

We are also looking for teachers who are willing to present an Amnesty International case in class at regular intervals (4-6 weeks) and have students who wish to do so sign the petition. This will give students a glimpse into other cultures and countries where human rights violations occur. If you would like to invite a speaker, be added to our mailing list, or know a teacher who might be interested, please email or call us Claus Walischewski cwalisch@t-online.de Tel. 0421/72131) or AI Office info@amnesty-bremen.de Tel.: 0421 / 32 79 37
