Introductory presentation by UNAWE International Project Manager Pedro Russo at the UNAWE International Workshop 2015 in Leiden, the Netherlands from 5 - 9 October 2015.
The document outlines an international astronomy education programme called EU-UNAWE that aims to inspire children ages 4 to 12 from disadvantaged communities about astronomy. The programme involves over 500 astronomers and teachers from 6 EU countries and 48 total countries developing educational materials like news stories, hands-on activities, and teacher trainings. Resources include an educational toolkit, activities handbook, and ambassador programme to provide astronomy lectures, activities, and observation nights to young children.
The EU Universe Awareness (EU-UNAWE) programme uses the beauty and grandeur of the cosmos to encourage young children, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, to develop an interest in science and technology and to foster a sense of global citizenship. EU-UNAWE is already active in 40 countries and comprises a global network of almost 500 astronomers, teachers and other educators. In 2011, the programme was awarded a grant of 1.9 million euros by the European Union so that it can be further developed in five European countries and South Africa. This grant is being used to organise teacher training workshops and to develop educational materials, such as an astronomy news service for children and games.
During this presentation we will outline some of the biggest achievements of EU-UNAWE to date, such as being awarded Science Magazines prestigious SPORE award, the development of a new online astronomy education resource repository, the development of the low-cost astronomy activity kit Universe in a Box and the launch and successful expansion of their astronomy news service for children; Space Scoop. Over the course of a year, Space Scoop has become the biggest and best resource for astronomy news for children, with partnerships with six top-level astronomy institutes (like NASA and ESO) around the world and releases now being available in 16 languages. Moreover EU-UNAWE teacher training has reached 375 teachers in 2011, and its activities have reached more than 15 000 children in the same year. In this presentation we will also discuss future plans for the programme.

The document summarizes a conference that took place in Brussels from October 24-26, 2014 to introduce creativity in science education. The conference aimed to help individual teachers become aware of weaknesses in their practice, be motivated to improve, and learn best practices. Objectives included proposing a methodology for introducing creativity and innovation in schools through teacher training and communities. The conference outlined learning activities like science cafes, science theater, and writing science operas that incorporate creative elements. Near future plans included teacher training workshops and an international conference in 2015.
A network of scientists and educators aims to reawaken students' interest in science through astronomy. They bring actual research into classrooms to inspire students and promote scientific methods. Students will actively learn science by doing science using worldwide telescope networks and innovative educational resources based on real astronomical data. This includes problem-solving experiences and multilingual software. The goal is to create a network connecting researchers and teachers to bring European research into classrooms and develop critical thinking through sharing resources and teacher training.
EU-Universe Awareness uses astronomy to encourage children's interest in science and technology and foster global citizenship. Its Universe in a Box program provides hands-on activities and materials to teach difficult astronomy concepts simply to children ages 4-10. The program aims to help children understand their place in the greater universe through activities on the moon, earth, sun, planets, and constellations while promoting respect for other cultures and environmental stewardship. Universe in a Box uses a modular approach with inquiry-based learning to gradually expand children's worldview.
