Team Romania at the 2026 Exo4Edu Summer School in Albania<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Between July 6 and 11, 2026, in Durr\u00ebs, Albania, the Romanian team brought to the Exo4Edu Summer School a wealth of educational experience, a deep passion for the teaching profession, and the shared conviction that astronomy can and must reach every student. A true elite of Romanian educators \u2013 Andrada Nicola Sab\u0103u, from the \u201cOnisifor Ghibu\u201d National College in Oradea, Dr Felicia Elena C\u0103lmuc, from the Children\u2019s Palace in Craiova, Adrian Temelescu, from the \u201cMircea Eliade\u201d Theoretical High School in Lupeni, and Radu-Andrei Tomescu, from the \u201cNicolae Iorga\u201d National College in V\u0103lenii de Munte \u2013 delivered engaging presentations that were highly appreciated by both participants and organisers for their professionalism, creativity, and responsiveness to the real needs of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Behind this remarkable participation stood the coordination of Dr Iharka-Magdolna Csillik, from the Cluj-Napoca Branch of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy, as well as, back home, the tireless work of Ana Naghi, Carmen Busu, and Dr Mirel B\u00eerlan, Director of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy. In Albania, Iharka consistently supported every member of the team, providing academic-level feedback that helped bring our presentations into their best possible form. She also proposed and coordinated an interdisciplinary practical activity combining astronomy, mathematics, and science education, entitled \u201cHow Long Would It Take to Reach Your Chosen Exoplanet?\u201d<\/em>. This workshop was built around the use of exoplanet databases, enabling participants to understand cosmic distances through calculations that are accessible to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pedagogical contribution of the Romanian team was further strengthened throughout the activities and workshops of the summer school by the second representative of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy, Sorin Marin. His presentation, \u201cFrom Astronomical Heritage to Exoplanet Education. A Case Study from the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy\u201d<\/em>, connected astronomical heritage with modern educational methods and with both conventional and experimental teaching hardware. Starting from Romania\u2019s ancient historical sites and the treasured scientific instruments of the Astronomical Institute, he demonstrated how the light of the stars is explained and how fundamental astronomical concepts are taught in non-formal educational settings. With great emotion, the Portuguese and Albanian participants, together with the French organizers of the summer school, learned that in our country the sky \u2013 its planets and constellations \u2013 is also introduced to blind children through a tactile mini-planetarium. Our message at this international summer school was that, in our Motherland, Romania, and beyond, we will dedicate our work to ensuring that every child can experience the joy of discovering and understanding the Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proiect \u201eDon`t be mean behind the screen\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ACREDITARE ERASMUS + 2021-2027 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Acreditare nr. 2020-1-RO01-KA120-SCH-000095297 – Contract nr. 2022-1-RO01-KA121-SCH-000053379<\/p>\n\n\n\n FLUX 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n Izmir, TURCIA, Kemalpa\u015fa Ferzent Bulum Lisesi – Kemalpa\u0219a Ferzent Bulum Anadolu Lisesi<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5-16 iunie 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15 elevi, 2 profesori insotitori \u0219i 3 staff Job Shadowing<\/p>\n\n\n\n Timp de 2 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, 15 elevi, 2 profesori \u00eenso\u021bitori \u0219i 3 cadre didactice- JOB SHADOWING din \u0219coala noastr\u0103 au fost implica\u021bi \u00een activit\u0103\u021bi nonformale, specifice Palatelor \u0219i Cluburilor Copiilor, derulate \u00eempreun\u0103 cu partenerul nostru educa\u021bional, Kemalpa\u015fa Ferzent Bulum Lisesi, \u00een Izmir, Turcia.
