The Tree of Justice
Welcome to the Primary Tree of Justice! In the trunk you will find introductory activities including a video called Exploring Global Justice – this is where you should start your journey. In the branches of the tree you will find activities that explore global justice in Somalia, Guatemala and Palestine. You can choose how you move around the tree.
