The local events are organised by ESERO Czech Republic, ESERO Austria, Nordic ESERO, and the Education team at the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the ESA Education Office. These events, which will have the presence of primary and secondary school teachers and students, will take place in Prague, Linz, Helsinki, and at ESA’s ESRIN centre in Frascati.
The inflight call with Paolo Nespoli is part of a vast range of educational activities delivered by ESA and the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) project. There are currently 12 operational ESERO Offices across Europe, covering 14 ESA Member States. ESA’s ESERO project is a collaboration between ESA, national space agencies and educational partners.
ESEROs design and disseminate classroom resources – all tailored to the national school curricula and language - which make use of space to make teaching and learning of STEM subjects more appealing and effective. In addition, they offer teacher training workshops and conferences for both primary and secondary school teachers, and support educational hands-on projects in the country. Through their activities, ESEROs also raise awareness about STEM-related career prospects and promote the importance of space in our daily life.
