Space Exploration Buddies

“Space Exploration Buddies” School Collaboration was inspired by Valentina Tereshkova’s statement: “Once you’ve been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.” By 2050, the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion, as reported by the Food and Agricultural Organization. The United Nations is working with the European Space Agency on space solutions such as Galileo system or Earth Observation technologies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). This Project encouraged students and teachers across Asia and Europe to create a “space network” on space technologies and developments. Students conducted research and interviews to understand the challenges of space exploration and found out ways to expand this knowledge to their peers such by creating videos and sharing them on online platforms.
