Student leaders of the 40 Hour Famine can gain NCEA credits that acknowledge their significant effort helping people affected by the global refugee crisis.

Rights 4 Refugees supports teachers as they teach and assess Achievement standard 91282 Describe personal involvement in a social action related to rights and responsibilities (Social Studies 2.4) and work with students who help organise their school’s 40 Hour Famine.

The student sheets develop understanding of the human rights issues faced by people living as refugees, with a focus on refugees from Syria.

The resource unpacks the achievement standard, introduces social studies concepts, and guides students through organising the 40 Hour Famine in their school. Also included is a teaching sequence with ready-to-use assessment materials containing two options for tasks (report-style or question/answer) and an assessment schedule with exemplars. Facts and statistics throughout the resource have been updated for 2017 – ensure you have the latest version dated December 2017.

This resource can be used in senior Social Studies classes or with student leaders outside of class to enhance their leadership experience.
