Knowing about the far away past is something teenagers are not interested in. They prefer to deal with the present time, their present interactions, and their present life. When they study history of the past, they most often do it just to have good grades, not for a personal interest. But this condition can be changed, their interests can be enlarged, so as to include what happened centuries ago, and this can be done with educational proposals that appear to them fun, involving and different from the usual school routines. Over the years, the author has proposed several educational activities that captured the interest and motivated teenagers to put themselves in another time period and understand what happened. The following projects show not only how to make them curious about what happened in the far away past, but through that understanding, know more about themselves, to see themselves as individuals who are able to make a difference also in the present and future times.

teenagers and the past, involve in the past history, through the past know who you are now
