Hi everyone,

I would like to post a reminder that the ASE conference will be taking
place on January 3rd to 5th 2008 and there are several talks and
workshops taking place hosted by the RAS and a few by AAE members also
which will be a great opportunity to present the IYA 09 and astronomy
eduation to teachers from across the UK and those attending from other
nations.

I am arranging a meeting to take place during one of the lunchtime
sessions for attendees who are interested in participating in the
Universe Awareness UK pilot project and also the meeting will be open
to people who also want to chat with others to contribute and work
together on the Global cornerstone projects and their own activities.

On the Saturday session (5th) I wlll be giving a talk on UNAWE and the
pilot projects in the UK where attendees will be able to take a way
sample Universe in a box. The contents of the box are basic resources
and materials with guidance notes for teachers and learners, schemes
of work, lesson plans and goodies donated from the Museum of Science
and Industry and the Manchester Sciecne Festival.

More details and the time of the meeting will be posted here shortly.

Sotira
