What is it?
The Principle of the Past means that you will learn from all the different people who have lived before you, discovering what made their lives good and what made their lives difficult and you will be inspired by their gifts of wisdom.

Do you pledge to uphold the Principle of the Past?
"I pledge to learn from the past and from all the different people who have lived before me."

Enriched Play
Investigate people of the past and how they lived. Did they have the same things you have? Were their lives easier or more difficult? Were they happier or unhappier because of this? Were they closer to nature? Imagine what your life would be like if you lived in the past. Put on a play and call it "Our Little Earth Charter Show of the Past".
