During recent years it was developed a scheme for popularizing scientific
astronomy to a broad audience in form of:

Monthly Talks

The experiences of these scheme covers the wide range of childrens in the
age of the Kindergarden, pupils with different schooling and not at least
working persons of different age and a different education background. The

and as a result of all five different tasks there will be shown the general
key to convey detailed knowledge in astronomy to these wide spectrum of the
audience.
