Every summer, ESA’s Education Office welcomes around 40 teachers from across Europe to ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre, The Netherlands. Over the course of four days, in the heart of ESA’s largest establishment, the teachers engage in a number of workshops about how space can be used as a context for teaching many subjects. Space experts, both from within ESA and outside, guide the teachers through mainly hands-on practical workshop sessions. The workshops are fully sponsored and applications are welcomed from all ESA Member States. The relevant forms for the next available workshop will be published on this website in due course.
