From the school to the space: outreach experience in Astronomy at IFCA

Abstract

For the last 5 years, the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (CSIC-UC) has developed a titanic effort in disseminating the Astronomy in spite of a scarce funding. The activities supported by a tenacious group of enthusiastic astronomers have been mainly focused (but not only) in the youngest students, visiting their schools or receiving them in the institute. The Athena mission outreach group, managed by the Athena Community Office, has also added its own resources to support the scholar activities to take advantage of the synergy when resources are limited.
