We, the People - Session 2 Presentation Slides

1. PRACTICING OUR FUNDAMENTAL
DUTIES
SESSION 2 Duration: 2 hours

2. Key Message:
 Citizenship means reflecting and living our
constitutional values
 Fundamental Duties flow out of the basic
values
 Align our actions with our values and
fundamental duties to create change

4. Activity 1
“Think about a time when you went out of your way to take some action
against an external situation that you thought was unjust, discriminatory,
or against one’s own or someone else’s freedom. You could have put
yourselves in trouble by doing so, but you still went ahead and did it.
Share the incident with each other.”

5. De-brief Questions:
1. How did you feel
about the situation?
2. What prompted you to
take the actions you
did?

6. Activity 2
Divide yourself into 5 small groups and two fundamental duties will be assigned
to each group (refer to Part IV A of Constitution while doing this). Each group
should prepare a role play on how you interpret the fundamental duties
assigned to you. Each group shares their role play and other groups are asked
to identify the fundamental duty being played out.

7. De-brief Questions:
1. Refer to the half
page on
Fundamental
Duties and discuss
why is the space
given to this so
less compared to
FRs? Are these
less important?
2. What does the
first duty written
here, “to abide by
the constitution”...
mean to us?
3. What do the
other duties written
here mean to us?

8. Activity 3
Read the handouts which speak about the individuals and organisations
that have been working on upholding fundamental duties. The exercise is
to work in pairs to identify which specific fundamental duty each case
upholds.

9. Work in Pairs:

10. Share, Discuss and
Summarize:
