STEM - World Heritage Sites
Between April 2023 and November 2024 FOTA - Friends On The Air will be visiting all EU countries and organising special activations in/around UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This in cooperation with local authorities, radio operators and STEM schools. We will combine POTA (Parks On The Air) outdoor activities with cultural heritage and promoting new ways of communications to students within the EU.
All schools can contact us on fota@cqqso.eu
We are now in the planning stages of this project.
This website will be redesigned soon.
