It was three days of listening, learning, brainstrorming and networking for forty secondary school teachers from all ESA Member States, when they participated in the first ESA Human Spaceflight Teachers Workshop at ESTEC in the Netherlands last week.

Well over 200 applications were received after ESA’s Directorate of Human Spaceflight announced the first Teachers Workshop and asked interested teachers from the ESA Member States to participate. Forty were finally selected and invited to ESA’s technology centre ESTEC to take part in the three-day workshop that was held from 28 to 30 June at the Erasmus Centre in ESTEC.

During the three days there was plenty of opportunity for teachers to share ideas with their colleagues and the ESA organisers. The general feeling during the workshop was busy, filled with knowledge and experience in a truly European context.

ESA would like to thank the teachers who took part for their enthusiasm and all the speakers who contributed to making this workshop a great and unique occasion for sharing knowledge on the benefits and importance of using Human Spaceflight as a didactical tool.
