Global Hands-on Universe's (GHOU) purpose is to help renew the teaching and learning of science. GHOU gathers teachers, educators, scientists and students in more than 20 countries around the world. Its most successful international effort is EUHOU, European Hands-on Universe, which was partly funded by the European Commission in a collaboration of 8 European Nations. More than 1500 teachers worldwide have already been trained in preliminary efforts. We plan to expand our network to at least 100 nations in 7 years. Students regularly undertake science studies after being exposed to GHOU multidisciplinary resources heavily based on real astronomical data and new technologies. For the IYA2009 (International Year of Astronomy in 2009), we want to undertake a global program fostering the interaction of schools around the globe. Our program is called "Today I am Galileo - Tomorrow I am Darwin". A series of activities are planned: historical research, reproduction of Galileo's observations, extra-solar planets studies, AGN variability, etc.; the Galileo Teacher training program is envisioned to be a global journey into high quality, inquiry based, coherent teaching and learning. Our main objective is to promote a deeper understanding, based on evidence, of our place in the Cosmos.
