(Español) Fruto de la colaboración entre el OAUV, CESAR (ESA/INTA/ISDEFE) y CAB llega de nuevo este concurso que quiere contribuir a dar a conocer a la comunidad educativa el programa SETI: cuáles son sus fundamentos, sus métodos, los protagonistas e hitos más reseñables y, naturalmente, cómo nos las arreglaremos para establecer un potencial contacto con una civilización extraterrestre. ¿Cuál sería nuestra intención en este primer acto comunicativo? ¿Qué le diríamos a una civilización extraterrestre de la que nada sabemos y que, muy probablemente, nada sepa de nosotros? ¿Qué les diríamos y… en qué idioma?

On July 23rd, a group of Sahrawi children who are spending the summer in Valencia as part of the “Vacaciones en Paz” (Holidays in Peace) program enjoyed an evening of astronomical and ecological activities at Casa Penya (Sagunt) thanks to the Amanar project and the collaboration of Acció Ecologista Agró, Fundación Sapiencia, and the University of Valencia Astronomical Observatory. The nearly 30 participating children enjoyed the eclipse workshop led by Isabel Cordero, a member of Sapiencia and a professor at the UV. The Observatori contributed with a live recreation of the eclipses in which the children used masks to simulate becoming the Earth or the Sun themselves, and then launched rockets into space (well, almost). The final touch was provided by the astronomer Enric Marco (UV) with an astronomical observation with a telescope.
