I had the opportunity to introduce a creative lesson idea that combined an engaging seasonal theme—Halloween—with an important educational topic: human rights. The goal was to show students that even playful, imaginative contexts can help us explore meaningful real-world issues.

To support the lesson, I prepared a Halloween-themed worksheet featuring fictional scenarios involving students from our class. Each situation hinted at a potential violation of human rights. Students were asked to identify which specific rights were being violated and to determine which institutions or international documents could provide protection or assistance in each case.

The activity was both educational and enjoyable. Students were actively engaged, discussed the cases with enthusiasm, and demonstrated a solid understanding of the human rights principles behind the stories.

This creative approach not only made the topic more accessible but also showed that human rights education can be meaningful, relatable, and fun. I hope this idea inspires colleagues to explore similar interdisciplinary or thematic connections in their own classrooms.

I included the worksheet in the attachement for inspiration.
