This assembly looks at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with a focus on Article 25 ‘Everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living’. We link this article to the right to live in a warm and safe home, while analysing the cost of heating a home and using electricity.  We look at the actions young people can take to improve energy efficiency and consider how they could support vulnerable people.

Session Aims:
