What a great successful & productive way of starting 2017.

In the premises of UP - Faculty of Education, Dep. of Physics in Pristina we held a joint a friendly meeting between our club ACK/AWB and the non-formal group from Ferizaj, Kosovo AstroFER.

During the meeting there were presentations from both groups where we discussed the achievements so far donations, plans, projects, cooperation, support and activities that we will implement during 2017. There was a presentation about AWB programs and community and the way individuals, groups or clubs can be involved. This year for the 2nd time Kosovo will be celebrating #GAM - Global Astronomy Month with different activities where people can be involved. All of this made possible through our club as a National Representative of AWB.

At the end of the meeting we had a study visit to Pristina Observatory, located in the Palace of Culture, Youth & Sports, which will be put to use by our club and will be open to the public in 2017. This observatory is not being used since the 80'ties for the pourpose which it was build. Our club made a request to put it back to use and open it to the public.

"A small step for us but a giant leap for Kosovo".
