There are scripts and presentations that teachers and/or students can use together to deliver the school assembly.

There is flexibility for you to include contributions from students within the assembly if they have prepared a reading, presentation or performance in advance. The film content comes from YouTube, so please make sure you connect your computer to the internet.

Students will learn about genocide affects people around the world and what we can do today.
