2 OBJECTIVES Stimulate the new generation of space-oriented scientists, with focus on girls and ethnic minorities. Use space and the Universe to broaden children s minds, raise awareness to the importance of space sciences in everyday life, develop a sense of European and global citizenship, and foster tolerance for diverse culture. Build long-term partnerships between people from different cultural backgrounds and countries inside and outside Europe. Help build the scientific and technological capacity of developing countries, particularly in Africa 2

3 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES MOOC, teacher trainings, workshops Citizen science activities New educational toolkits Access to high quality resources with a focus on current missions and global concerns Space Career Hub Existing resources 3

4 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES The resources will be created using inquiry based methods and hands on approaches for primary and secondary schools, and science museums. Ready to use quality material selected through peer-review Easy integration in European curricula Easy to use in non-science disciplines High attention to diversity and inclusion Material translated into at least 8 European languages 4

5 EDUCATIONAL KITS Our Wonderful Universe Our Fragile Planet Navigation through the Ages Islamic Heritage Kit Focuses primarily on Space/Astronomy and approaches topics like The Sun-Earth-Moon system, Galaxies, Stars. Focuses on our planet Earth: its composition, surface, waters, climate, biodiversity and even climate change. It offers entry-points into Geography, Biology and even History. Offers fascinating perspectives into topics from the basic concepts of navigation to celestial navigation, instruments used, and even satellite navigation/gps systems. A materialization of one of the project s objective, it brings awareness to the contribution of Islamic scientists to the development of Astronomy during the middle ages and also addresses the need to respond to the current political and humanitarian issue on migration.
