The Earth Charter is the first treaty in history to be drafted and promoted by the people - over the past ten years over 100,000 people in 51 countries have contributed to its creation. The Charter offers principles for living and decision-making that can be used by multinational institution like the United Nations, by governments, by towns, by organizations, and by individuals and families everywhere. The goal of the Earth Charter is to establish a sound ethical foundation for the emerging global society and to help build a sustainable world based on respect for nature, universal human rights, and a culture of peace. There are 16 principles that make up the Earth Charter, which in turn are described in more detail by 62 sub-principles. These principles are organized into four major categories: 1) Respect and care for the Community of Life, 2) Ecological Integrity, 3) Social and Economic Justice, and 4) Democracy, Non-violence, and Peace. All of them together form a declaration of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful society in the 21st century.

"Playback theatre is a form of interactive, improvisational theatre that invites the audience or group members to tell stories from their lives. Through the Playback form, a person’s story is told and acted for them in the context of healing, community building and shared experience. These stories come magically alive through music, movement, action and dialogue. This artistic and aesthetic response strives to elevate and unite people in a place where the heart matters most. "
