GALILEOMOBILE

GalileoMobile is a non-profit, itinerant, science education initiative that brings modern astronomy closer to young people around the world, with emphasis in regions that have little or no access to other outreach actions. The initiative was created in late 2008 inspired by the preparations for the upcoming International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009) and is currently run by astronomers, educators, and science communicators.

​

VISION

Share astronomy across the world in a spirit of inclusion, sustainability, and cultural exchange to create a feeling of unity under the same sky. 

GOALS

​

• Visit schools and communities and organize astronomy hands-on sustainable activities, sky observations, and donate educational material.

​

• Provide schools and teachers with the tools and knowledge to run the activities independently, facilitating the sustainability through teacher workshops and community building.

​

• Encourage peace and mutual understanding by acknowledging, alongside modern scientific views, traditional knowledge related to astronomy and the cosmovision of the communities visited.

​

• Share our experience with a wide audience through appropriate channels and resources in order to inspire initiatives with similar vision.
