Astronomy education Summer School for teachers

4 December 2009

The European Association for Astronomy Education is the first all-European network for teachers interested in astronomy. This year the institution is organising a specific course for teachers in order to offer them access to new educational materials and methods and the chance to exchange experiences. This course is open to all secondary school teachers who work in European countries.

The course took place from 26 November to 1 December in Madrid. At this event several different kinds of activities were presented by astronomers, university professors, and secondary school teachers. The course is for school teachers interested in astronomy even if they only have limited knowledge in this field. The course is not aimed at experts. The preliminary theme is "Adventure in teaching Astronomy". The aim of the organisers is to promote very active participation and the exchange of ideas.
