Mind Your Rights
All citizens of the European Union enjoy fifty distinct fundamental rights. Do you know what these rights are? Do your students? The answer to these questions is often ‘no'. Yet an understanding of these rights is fundamental to the exercise of our rights and responsibilities as citizens.

Mind Your Rights is a teaching tool on the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Pilot Project
This pedagogical tool is being piloted in a total of 300 schools in five countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Greece and Romania.
Teachers participating in this pilot must commit to providing feedback on this tool. All feedback will be reviewed and evaluated. In each country, the school that provides the most constructive and convincing feedback will have the outputs of this activity converted into a public work of art.

Benefits

Through this tool, your students will:

  • learn about and understand their fundamental rights
  • analyse the importance of these rights in their daily life
  • consider whether personal responsibilities are associated with these rights
  • gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of citizenship
  • develop a beautiful paper mural to decorate their school
  • participate in a competition to have their own art-work incorporated into a public work of art as a unique expression of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Funding

The project will cover the costs of creating the artwork.

In Ireland, the winning school will also receive a cash prize of €500 and a further €500 donation to a charity of their choice.
