This document summarizes the tasks, work packages, teams, and timeline of the EUNAWE (European-South African Universe Awareness) project. The project aims to educate young children about astronomy and space science through teacher training and educational resources. Key activities include training teachers in 6 countries, developing multilingual educational materials, and establishing an online repository of resources. The project is led by an International Project Board and managed by an International Project Manager and National Project Managers. Major milestones in the first 12 months include kickoff and consortium meetings, a website launch, and teacher workshops.

56. 24 May 2011: Parliament STOA WORKSHOP Astronomy and Space Sciences Chaired by T. RieraMadurell, MEP, STOA Panel Member S. Tatarella, MEP, STOA Panel Member Tuesday 24 May 201; 13:30 - 18:00 Room P7C050 European Parliament, Brussels

57. Teachers Training Teacher-training workshops will cover available material, resources, effective techniques and will be multidisciplinary, with input from diverse experts in diverse disciplines, including astronomy and space sciences, science education and childhood development. The opportunity to participate in the teacher training programme will be advertised as widely as possible in each member country through national school networks (e.g. VTB in the Netherlands), local and provincial school authorities, teachers associations, observatories and personal contacts. The National Project Manager will collect applications and select the participants in consultation with the National Coordinator.

59. low teacher turnover to ensure continuity and success of the programme throughout the two implementation years

60. wide geographical spread and

61. emphasis on underprivileged childrenThe teachers themselves must also demonstrate a level of enthusiasm or the project. Schools and teachers must commit to using the resources and methods in the classroom, thereby reaching a large number of young children, and to actively contribute to the evaluation of the programme. The workshop formats and content will conform to the requirements of the local educational authorities, so that where possible, the professional development of the teachers will be officially recognised.
