In the framework of the 52nd IAC a forum combining forces of IAF, ISSAT and ISU has been held in Toulouse. The theme was "Space Education for the New Millennium". Due to an ESA very remarkable initiative, with the participation of CNES, four hundred students coming from miscellaneous countries participated to the Congress. Simultaneously with the Congress an important and fascinating Public Outreach Programme (POP) has been organized by ISSAT (Institut des Sciences Spatiales et Applications de Toulouse). This POP was dedicated to young people, local students and large public. Several volunteers, just retired from a space- related professional career helped the organizers to prepare and to implement this Public Outreach Programme. After this successful experience it appears very interesting to proceed to a large vision of space related education and training. Avoiding to share the field of education between youth, students graduated and post-graduated, continuous education catalogued or customized, it seems possible through associations like ISSAT, and with the participation of its Members (Space Agency ; Universities ; High Graduate Schools ; Industrial Firms; Services Providers) and the participation of individual members just retired to give a very strong continuity to space-related education all along the time since secondary school to professional training, through university, graduated and post graduated steps, doctorates, continuous education, etc... So it will be possible to increase the interest of young people and students for sciences and technologies, to contribute to the development of a space-related task force for the 21st century and to promote space sciences and applications at the international level.
