The international educational project "Stars in the School" supported by European Agency "Socrates" started in October 1999. Students groups and teachers from 7 european high schools in Spain, Italy, France, Finland, Romania, Germany and the bulgarian Planetarium - Smolyan work in collaboration to teach, learn and popularize astronomy.
The common aims of the project are:

• Common astronomical activities. These activities will be at the same time in different countries, so that we could compare the same astronomical phenomenon.
• To use the new ways of communication as Internet and e-mail
• To establish an Astronomical Club in each partner school
• To know the different educational systems and particularly the different possibilities to teach and to learn Astronomy in each country
