A Guide to Delivering Effective Education and Outreach Activities by Andy Devey

One of the aims of the Education and Outreach Section is to encourage the sharing of the experiences of members.  Andy Devey has taken the time to put together a thorough and thought-provoking document, drawing on what he has learned from his many years of experience of astronomy education and outreach, and of life more generally.

A Guide to Delivering Effective Education and Outreach Activities by Andy Devey

This is a guide that can be used in different ways – from reading through, to dipping in when looking for advice on something in particular. Whichever way you use it, I hope that you will, like I did, find new perspectives and new ideas, hints and tips, that you can use to help you shape any activities that you do.

Andy is still eager to learn and develop, always looking for more effective ways of doing things, and he intends this guide to be a living document, which can be regularly added to and updated. So, if you have feedback or suggestions for additions then please feel free to contact him or email the section at: eando@britastro.org

If you enjoyed it, or found something particularly insightful or useful, then why not encourage Andy by letting Alexandra Hart have a note for sharing in a future E&O Section Newsletter (eando@britastro.org).

The more we can share, learn from, and encourage each other the better!

Thank you Andy for leading the way.

Helen Usher, Education and Outreach Section Director
