The Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE) invites and encourages any school teacher interested in astronomy education to submit proposals to organise an astronomy focused teacher training workshop.
Each proposal should ideally be a co-authored by a teacher and a National Astronomy Education Coordinator (list below). If you have an idea for such a workshop, please contact an astronomy education co-ordinator from the list to collaborate. We would also be happy to connect you with others to write this proposal. OAE will provide financial support of up to 2000 Euros for one workshop.
The deadline to submit the proposal is 15 April, 2024. For more details (including ideas for workshops and the proposal form), please visit: https://astro4edu.org/news/sO4533a/
