Astronomy as an engine of regional cooperation

Just one day after hiking up to 2,000 m, a WBF project reached even higher, straight to the stars!

Thanks to the initiative of the Astronomy Club of Kosovo and its partners, the ceiling of regional cooperation literally became the sky.

In the beautiful setting of Kukaj village near Prishtina, young participants, selected among 400+ applicants from across the Western Balkans, united to stargaze 🔭 and learn more about space from leading experts.

Beyond astronomy, they bonded over archery, games, and songs, turning the event into a true hymn of regional friendship and cooperation.

This project is co-funded by the European Union, IPA III – Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance.
