The Declaration is a powerful document, which begins by acknowledging, \u201cWhereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.\u201d Dignity. Rights. Freedom. Justice. Peace. These are all aspects of humanity that are to be protected and respected, and yet we know they are often still violated. The Declaration of Human Rights has made tremendous strides in ensuring human rights are protected, and organisations like \u201cGlobal Dignity\u201d are helping even the youngest of learners do their part in making sure that everyone is able to live a life of dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Students at Beaconhouse have participated in \u2018Global Dignity Day\u201d initiatives since 2010, where they have had opportunities to engage in global dialogue with students from around the world in meaningful dialogue and to appreciate and celebrate small everyday acts that contributed to global dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s youth will become future leaders, change agents, and role models that will move our world forward. It is up to us, to help them step into those roles with compassion, understanding, and tolerance for all human beings. The Dignity project will, therefore, build on students\u2019 previous learning by developing a deeper understanding of the principles of Dignity, the importance of the universal values of dignity, and to empower students to recognise their own inherent dignity and respect the equal worth of all others.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><div class=\"gem-divider \" style=\"margin-top: 100px;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;24687&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><div class=\"gem-divider \" style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-center\"><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-small gem-button-style-outline gem-button-text-weight-normal gem-button-border-1\" style=\"border-radius: 3px;border-color: #243e8b;color: #243e8b;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.borderColor='#243e8b';this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';this.style.color='#243e8b';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.borderColor='#f8ef22';this.style.backgroundColor='#243e8b';this.style.color='#f8ef22';\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Download Here<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a class=\"anchor\" name=\"culture_identity\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>CULTURE AND IDENTITY<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The world, as we view now, is one that is represented through the screens of TVs, computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
