UN-declared World Space Week 4-10 October, Annually

Dear all,

It would be really great if you could help us publicise
UN-declared World Space Week which is in 3 weeks
from now.


2 ways:

1) Put up our beautiful poster for your visitors to see (8MB):

2) Pass on our Invitation 2 Participate:


Dear Educators,

My name is Jim Volp and I am volunteer Director Educational
Relations of the UN-declared World Space Week, 4-10 Oct,
Annually.

With the endorsement of the United Nations Office of Outer
Space Affairs (www.worldspaceweek.org/united_nations.html)
and the ESA people responsible for Eduspace; I would like to
ask you if you can support us make our global education event
a bigger success than last year.

The WSW 2009 theme is "Space for Education"; see attached
our inspirational poster. We hope you feel inspired to organise
an event/pay attention to Space in your Classroom in the week
of 4-10 October.

Could you help us distribute our Invitation to Participate which
is appended below to as many friends, family, fellow teachers etc
as possible?

Critical is that everybody registers their (planned) events in our
Calendar; the EARLIER the BETTER! It saves us quite some
nerves if we can see many events already registered before the
4th October :-)

Thank you for your interest in & support to World Space Week.

kind regards,

Jim Volp and Virgiliu Pop

You are cordially invited to be part of the largest, public,
space event on Earth! World Space Week - established by the
United Nations in 1999 - is taking place every year between
4-10 October. It is the best occasion to use space to excite
students!

During UN-declared World Space Week a large number of public
events and educational programmes are held simultaneously
all around the world, on the Internet, even in outer space!

As the theme of World Space Week 2009 is "Space for Education"
we encourage in particular the participation of educational
establishments to join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary.

Apart from Universities, professional, primary and secondary
schools the UN-declared World Space Week is open to anybody
with an interest in space: non-governmental organisations,
corporations, associations, cities, individuals, you name it!

As World Space Week participant you're encouraged to organise
space-themed activities. More info and supporting links can be
found in our worldwide Invitation to Participate (PDF/MSWord):

To show to the media and the public the extent of your event,
classroom or organisation and how it contributes to the world
celebrations it is of utmost importance to register your event

To recognize the most creative use of space to inspire students,
