In celebration of Asteroid Day, the Cosmic Detectives Astronomy Club from Mozambique, in partnership with the Portuguese Language Office of Astronomy for Development (PLOAD), hosted an event that brought together astronomers and citizen scientists from across the Portuguese-speaking world to reflect on the transformative role of citizen science in astronomy education and outreach.
The goal was to create a space for sharing experiences and ideas on how citizen science projects can contribute in practical and inspiring ways to astronomy education in schools, universities, and communities — especially in Portuguese-speaking countries.
In this context, CoAstro had the privilege of opening the session, proudly wearing the Portuguese jersey… quite literally! You can watch it all HERE.
