▶Objectives
We aimed to develop a comprehensive educational framework that addresses Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through space science for 16+ students. This framework would guide educators and students with gender-inclusive activities, incorporating new materials and adapting existing resources from previous projects. We sought to create a teacher training program for VET educators, combining theoretical knowledge and practical guidelines, delivered both in-person and online. The project planned a phased implementation of activities in VET schools, starting with local testing and feedback, followed by broader adoption supported by ongoing monitoring. We also aimed to establish sustainable learning ecosystems involving schools, companies, policymakers, and other stakeholders to ensure long-term impact. Lastly, a strong dissemination strategy was designed to share all materials widely in the partner languages and to engage educators through workshops and training events across Europe, fostering real, lasting engagement with ESD and space careers.
