Our World, Our Rights contains four sections: one providing background information on the organization of human rights education lessons; a lesson section; suggestions for organizing whole school events; and a section outlining actions to undertake to promote human rights.

The book suggests a variety of age-appropriate activities to encourage learning in the areas of rights and responsibilities. A range of teaching methods are presented, including team work, storytelling, visual aids, artistic expression, and role plays. There are reproducible worksheets.

One of the strengths of this curriculum is its parallel attention to teacher, classroom and the whole school environment. Another strength is that it explicitly emphasizes the contents of the UDHR, in addition to the skills and attitudes supportive of a human rights culture.
