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.
