This year we will organize a Romanian session within the 6th Shaw IAU workshop. The topic of our discussions will be the use of ASTRONOMIC OBSERVATIONS(through radio waves, microwaves, visible infrared spectrum, ultraviolet, x and gamma rays, etc. or gravitational waves) as teaching methods and tools to better understand both the place of Earth in the Universe and the impact of human activities, such as light pollution, on our atmosphere. This could be through simple demonstrations, naked-eye observing, online projects, astronomy education resources, using real scientific data in the classroom or remote observing to reach diverse audiences(teachers, members of the National Astronomy Committee and of Institute of the Romanian Academy, former Olympics, members of professional associations).
