About the Education and Outreach Working Group
One of the key missions of the Moon Village Association has been to foster collaboration for the development of moon explorations projects and inspire young generations to pursue professional careers in space and related lunar exploration fields.

- Explore ways to collaborate and form new partnerships with organizations around the world
Moreover, our Women on the Moon initiative aims to inspire young generations of women to pursue professional careers in space and related lunar exploration fields.
The White Paper of the Education & Outreach Working Group outlines our perspectives and goals in more detail.

Why should I volunteer?
Education and outreach helps inspire and empower others and is a rewarding experience. This is the perfect opportunity to network with like-minded people throughout the world and get a closer look into the future of human exploration of the Moon. It essentially gives you a forum to express yourself and change the trajectory of the space industry. In addition, you will be recognized for your contributions to the Moon Village Association and the different activities of the working group.
