Reach the sky’ Erasmus + project

Abstract

Public awareness of the risks arising from broadly defined light pollution is low. Numerous actions taken by ILO as well as its partner schools show how you can take care of the starry sky in every environment. ‘Reach the Sky’ project was very successful which can be attributed to the great interest of our students in physics, geography, natural science and astronomy. Desired results are also achieved due to the fact that astronomy was introduced into the ILO’s curriculum as an extracurricular subject taught. The great interest and engagement of students in astronomy classes as well as in ‘Reach the Sky’ project show that the subject is really necessary in schools.
