As part of the “EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky” festival held at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., around 70 students from the Institution François d’Assise – Nicolas Barré (FANB) took part in a unique virtual session with NASA education specialist Dorian Janney on Monday, March 31, 2025…
This exceptional initiative was made possible through a collaboration between Monaco’s Embassy in the United States and Canada and the Principality’s Department of Education, Youth and Sport (DENJS). The session highlighted Monaco’s commitment to scientific education and international cooperation, offering students an inspiring opportunity to engage directly with experts in the field of space exploration.
During the session, students gained insights into NASA’s Earth observation missions and the broader role of space agencies in understanding and protecting the planet. The discussion also emphasised the importance of cultural diplomacy and scientific collaboration in advancing space research and sustainability.
This immersive experience reflects Monaco’s broader educational goals: to provide students with access to real-world scientific knowledge and encourage a global perspective on environmental issues. The partnership between the Embassy and the DENJS demonstrates a shared dedication to promoting innovative, cross-border learning experiences.
By linking students in Monaco with experts from one of the world’s leading space agencies, the event offered a valuable moment of exchange that could help inspire the Principality’s next generation of scientists, environmentalists, and explorers.
