Astronomy for All
Despite astronomy’s relative popularity, many communities still face challenges and obstacles that restrict their participation in science, limiting their access to the resources they need to take an active part in astronomy.
From the perspective of astronomy communication, and particularly through the efforts of the Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO), we can collectively explore a more inclusive and open approach to astronomy. The OAO works to connect and support scientists, educators, communicators and amateur astronomers, to generate resources, share experiences, adapt astronomy to cultural and linguistic diversity in today’s context, and promote responsible and open initiatives to people with disabilities. By encouraging international collaboration and strengthening local initiatives, engagement efforts can extend beyond traditional boundaries, into classrooms and communities worldwide, and beyond, through the growing network of digital spaces.
All events must respect the general guidelines of the IAU Global Project and Themes, which promote the key role of astronomy for the betterment of science and society through collaboration and with a spirit of respect, tolerance, and peace.
