Enthusiastic teachers are invited to use their creativity and imagination to design space-related activities for students between 8 and 18 years old, in collaboration with experts of the Space Awareness project. The activities will be used in the Space Awareness MOOC (massive open online course) series.
Teachers will also participate with their class in the recording of videos in which they will present their work. These videos will be published in the project’s website as part of a MOOC series and communicated as examples of good practices to hundreds of schools and teachers around Europe and beyond.
Aside from having the opportunity to disseminate their activities to a pan-European community of teachers thus receiving credit and recognition for their work, participating teachers will be also named ‘Space Awareness’ ambassadors and be provided with opportunities to participate in conferences and workshops where they can present their work. Interested teachers are requested to register by 15 January, 2016.

The SPACE AWARENESS experience
‘Space Awareness’ is an international project which aims to use the excitement of space exploration in order to raise students’ interest in science and technology as well as space-related careers and stimulate their sense of global citizenship. To achieve that, the project is offering a wide range of tools and activities to inspire children, teenagers, and teachers to be involved in space related activities. Among others, our project will offer activities which will include professional development tools, educational resources, Space Scoops, citizen science and games, as well as space careers stories.
As we strongly believe that teachers play the most significant role when it comes to inspiring students and raising their excitement in any given subject taught at school, we would like to give the floor to them and offer them the opportunity to become the bright stars of the ‘Space Awareness’ project.
