To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Youth for Human Rights Australia are holding an Art Competition that is open to all year 9 students in Victoria.
MAJOR PRIZE WINNER WILL WIN TRIP FOR TWO TO NEW YORK TO PRESENT THEIR ARTWORK TO THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The purpose of Youth for Human Rights is to teach youth and adults, with simple and understandable communication, about their basic human rights and the responsibilities that go with making them a reality. Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created by the United Nations to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace. To assist educators in teaching students about human rights, Youth for Human Rights is conducting an arts competition and exhibition using the 30 basic precepts of the UN Declaration of Human Rights as the basis of the artwork.
The Exhibition Opening night will be held at HoGallery, on Thursday the 4th of December, 6pm till 9pm and the show will be open on Friday and Saturday from 11am till 3pm.
