'The best way to make change is through music'

Primary school children in Rathcoole have been learning about human rights and advocacy through a musical lens.

Rapper and human rights activist Smack Jay from Zambia has brought his rhymes and flows to Rathcoole Primary as part of Human Rights Week.

It symbolises a week of events to commemorate the anniversary of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed on 10 December 1948.

Speaking to BBC News NI, Smack Jay said that music can often be used to advocate for human rights.
