Scientific paper

The world will soon celebrate the International Year of Astronomy; however, after 400 years of modern astronomy, we are faced with a paradox: whilst science and technique keep making huge progress, children in school learn less and less about the universe. Therefore, we intend to explore some possible teaching strategies in countries where at present astronomy is not part of the curriculum. These include local school TV-networks, conferences, talks and lectures, leaflets, meetings with experts, mass media, museums, planetaria, amateur astronomers, presentation of different astronomical phenomena for education (eclipses, comets etc). We also intend to suggest how astronomers could get the support of IAU Commission 46.
