World Space Week event

How to organize a World Space Week event?
World Space Week is an excellent opportunity for organizations across the world to come together and help collectively inspire and stimulate interests in space, space sciences and education. Your organization can participate in the celebration of World Space Week each October 4-10. By doing so, you will leverage the public and media attention surrounding the largest annual public space event on Earth.

Why run an event?
An annual event, World Space Week is an excellent opportunity for local organisations in your country to come-together and help collectively inspire and stimulate interests in space, STEM sciences and education. Your organisation could leverage World Space Week to:

Reach out to prospective members
Provide community outreach and education
Engage with your local community
Help raise the profile of space-related organisations and activities across your country
Have fun, and get your members engaged
Using these activities every year can help raise your organisation’s profile. Participating is easier than you may think. Here is how to celebrate World Space Week:

1. Mark your Calendar
From 4 to 10 of October EVERY YEAR!

2. Choose an Activity
You determine what you want to do. Any activity related to space will do, from a short classroom drawing activity for a handful of toddlers to a stadium-size all-week lecture program. Programs can be for any audience, such as the public, employees, government leaders, the media, teachers, or students (see our materials for schools). These programs can be existing or new. We recommend you contact your National Coordinator for ideas, or use the event ideas pages on this website.

3. Plan Your Activity/Event
Schedule space-related activities for the 4-10 October timeframe. Use the World Space Week name and logo into your publicity materials. You may want to coordinate with other events organizers in your area and your national coordinator. You can download posters and logos directly from our website, free for you to use. To help develop a strong ‘Festival Brand’, we are encouraging all organisations to co-brand events with “World Space Week”. This helps people become aware of the festival, and will help build a brand for future years. It also allows your event attendees to become aware of other events being organised in your area. This is a win-win scenario, as people attending other events will similarly hear about yours. Click here to download the World Space Week logo.
