The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) - Promoting astronomy for 50 years — •Elizabeth Mondragón — International Workshop for Astronomy (IWA e.V.)

The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a three-week long summer camp aiming to promote knowledge of astronomy and astronomy-related sciences in a unique international atmosphere. Every year, since 1969, the IAYC takes place somewhere in Europe. About 70 people from a wide range of different countries live together for three weeks. Participants are between 16 and 24 years old and share a common interest: Astronomy. The camp offers several working groups covering different topics from astrophotography, observation and astro-particle physics to astronautics and astrobiology. The topic for the working group varies from year to year depending on the leader responsible for the working group. The participants are arranged according to their interests into different working groups during the camp. Each working group usually have between 8-10 participants. The leaders, who are chosen among previous year's participants, take the responsibility of organising each year's camp and supervise a working group. The IAYC2019 will take place in Klingenthal, Germany, from the 21st of July to the 11th of August 2019. In the next IAYC we will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the International Workshop for Astronomy (IWA), the organisation that runs the camp and we will hold during the camp special activities to celebrate this event.
