Astronomy for all

Children and teachers participate in a workshop as part of the Amanar project, which aims to use astronomy to inspire people in Sahrawi refugee camps, as well as to foster a sense of global citizenship and to raise awareness of the harsh conditions faced by Sahrawi refugees. The project is funded by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development, having been selected as an IAU100 Special Project, and is organised by GalileoMobile, the Canary Association of Friendship with the Sahrawi People and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.
