A refuge under the stars

Refugees participating in the Amanar project visit a professional observatory under the pristine night sky and the Milky Way. The Amanar project aims to use astronomy to inspire children and teachers in Sahrawi refugee camps, as well as to foster a sense of global citizenship and to raise awareness of the harsh conditions faced by Sahrawi refugees. The project is funded by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development, having been selected as an IAU100 Special Project, and is organised by GalileoMobile, the Canary Association of Friendship with the Sahrawi People and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.
