This is my favourite page:UNAWE: Inspiring every child with our wonderful cosmos
Vision
A child's early years are widely regarded to be the most important for children's development and education. The idea behind EU-UNAWE is to educate children aged 4-10 years (especially those from underprivileged communities) about astronomy, because it embodies a unique combination of scientific and cultural aspects:
•Our awe-inspiring Universe captures the imagination of children, making it a great stepping-stone to introduce youngsters to science and technology. Indeed, many scientists can trace their interest in science to a moment as a young child when they were first introduced to the wonders of the cosmos.
•Considering the vastness and beauty of the Universe and our place within it provides a special perspective that can help broaden the mind and stimulate a sense of global citizenship and tolerance.
There are some splendid ideas and links - including one with a video showing me how to build a sundial. Something I've wanted for years!THE AWESOME AMATEUR ASTRONOMER!
