Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In small groups, learners talk about how to claim their rights.
The individual can claim his/her rights through: joining civic clubs, reporting to Social Welfare, reporting to the law courts, reporting to CHRAJ, reporting to the police, embarking on lawful public demonstrations, using negotiation, reporting to relevant institutions, e.g. FIDA.
Learners share experiences of cases they have experienced or seen being handled by any of these institutions or agencies.
