UNAWE Universe Awareness for Young Children

Solar System Passport Everyone has a nationality: Brazilian, Indian, Dutch etc. This means you are a citizen of a nation or country, the country where you come from. That nationality is written in a passport, and that passport gives you the freedom to travel to other countries. When you travel, you receive stamps in your passport from the places you have visited. All of us are also citizens of Earth, the planet where we come from. Make yourself a Solar System passport. You can write in your planet-ality and facts, pictures and details about the places in the Solar system you would like to travel to. Its true that no citizen of planet Earth has ever travelled to another planet in the Solar System, but why not be prepared- just in case!
