Project Moonwalkers is permanently opened. It's a project that
recognizes the work of any teacher that does significant work about the

Even if you are not a teacher and therefore you won't receive a certificate you will be able to see some contents that are not available without registration.
The EAAE General Assembly gathered in Madrid on December 1st, 2009, has decided that since this is a non-profit organization no fee would be charged to its members. Therefore the only obligation a member has is to login to our site at least once a year so that we confirm that he is still part of the Association.
There are several activities of the association where all members are invited to participate.
