Duties and rights
An exercise to explore the concepts 'right' and 'duty' and the connections between them.
Our concept activities section is full of ideas and activities submitted by our contributors to help make your p4c sessions richer in concepts and deeper in meaning.
We don’t want to repeat the same ‘directions for use’ every time we post a new activity so we have put many of the directions, together with the principles behind each kind of concept-stretching activity, in a key document called ‘Create Concept Activities‘. We hope it will also help you to create your own concept activities.
