Abstract: We report on the Sharing a baseline project, which coordinated interactions between school classes in different countries with radio astronomical observatories, reflecting the links between global telescope networks. The project aimed to increase science capital for 14-15-year old learners through connected classes with each other, and leveraging the global aspects of radio astronomy. The project involved classes, facilities, scientists, and activities in five European countries in 2024, with a project extension in 2025 to include South Africa.
