Abstract
Two studies concerning astronomy education in Europe are presented in this paper: one carried out among teachers in Europe and the other one among high-school students in Tyrol (Austria). Teachers were surveyed to find out how to help them to include more astronomy in their lessons. Students were interviewed about their interest in and motivations for astronomy. They were also asked which astronomical topics were taught in school and what were their ideas for integrating more astronomy.
