National Observatory of Athens launches astronomy program in Thesprotia

The PLEIADES team of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) has announced the UniversALL educational program for the 2026–2027 school year. This initiative targets secondary education students in the prefectures of Preveza and Thesprotia, aiming to introduce them to the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.

The program follows successful previous phases in the Dodecanese, North Aegean, Evros, and Rhodope regions, which engaged 76 schools and over 1,600 students. The upcoming curriculum includes online presentations and lectures by NOA researchers, interactive quizzes, experiments, and group projects.

Following the digital component, researchers will conduct in-person visits to local communities to host open science events for the general public. Interested schools can apply through the official program website.
