For over 30 years, the MCE Sky Pedagogy Research Group (Italy) and Plaza del Cielo Complex (Argentina) had been offering teachers and educators many projects and activities related to training and teaching/learning processes having the sky and the study of the multiple relationships of humans with the sky as a focus of research. We have developed didactical methods based on direct experience, naked-eye activities, cooperation and exchange of experiences. The pandemic forced us to suspend the in-person meetings, which are at the center of our research in the Teaching of Astronomy, so we decided to react constructively exploring virtuality designing the course “Meet the skies of the world”. Two courses where developed from June to September 2020, each one having 4 virtual meetings of 2,5 hours each, with more than a hundred participants from different countries. A Level II course will be developed during the first semester of 2021.
