19/02/2024 13574 views Open # European Space Education Resource Offices ESA / Education / Teachers' Corner The European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) network is ESA’s flagship initiative for school and early childhood education (3-18 years old) across Europe.

Through a network of national offices, ESERO supports teachers and educators in bringing the excitement of space into classrooms and learning environments, making science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects more engaging, accessible, and relevant. First established in 2006 in the Netherlands, the ESERO network has grown overtime.

In 2026, the year of its 20 th anniversary, ESERO is active in 22 ESA Member States, with more European countries willing to join in. ESERO stems from the joint efforts of ESA and its national Delegations, steering the project together with a number of additional national funding partners who share the ESERO objectives. ## What does ESERO offer?

Each national ESERO provides a wide range of free opportunities for early-age, primary, and secondary teachers and educators, including: * **Ready-to-use resources:** Rooted in current learner-focused methodologies, ESERO resources use space as a context to build essential STEM skills and competences.

ESERO resource repositories offer classroom-ready lessons with teacher guides and student worksheets, multimedia resources, digital tools, physical STEM kits, and more, that can be used in both formal and nonformal learning venues.

* **Curriculum-linked projects:** adapted to national STEM curricula, ESERO implements interdisciplinary projects and challenges inspired by cutting-edge space themes, such as spacecraft technology, space exploration, earth sciences and sustainability.

The projects are hands-on, immersive and inclusive, giving every student the chance to build 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, resilience, agency and teamwork alongside core STEM content. * **Teacher training and workshops:**ESERO’s national and regional training sessions for teachers and educators empower participants with the latest teaching methodologies and practical tools.

Where possible, trainings are officially accredited as part of continuous professional development qualifications. * **Inspirational activities and events:**from live events to expert encounters, ESERO connects students with the wider world of space beyond the classroom.

Through these immersive and highly engaging experiences, students discover the breadth of careers linked to the space sector, meet real space professionals, and explore how space impacts everyday life.

Network members at the ESERO biannual meeting at ESA ESTEC in November 2025 ESERO operates through nationally embedded offices, each working closely with local education partners and authorities, national space agencies, or offices, and expert organisations to ensure every activity, resource, and training is: * Adapted to national languages, curricula, and context.

* Applying learner-centred, inquiry-based approaches that foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning. * Grounded in authentic science and technologies, with real space data, mission examples, and applications woven throughout. * Accessible to teachers, educators and learners of all backgrounds, in both formal and non-formal settings, both in and outside the classroom.

* Taking benefit from a strong European network, sharing knowledge, resources, and best practices across borders. * Reaching widely across each country. * Free of charge for participants.
