From the International Year of Astronomy in 2009 - The Universe Yours to Discover; to IAU 100 Years Celebrations in 2019 - Under One Sky,
the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (IAU OAO) the IAU engages the public in astronomy through access to astronomical information
and communication of the science of astronomy.
The IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach work focuses on building bridges between the IAU and the global astronomy community
of outreach professionals, educators, amateur and professional astronomers, and the public.
Through international cooperation, we envision to make astronomy a science that is accessible to all.
In this talk, I will present the IAU outreach activities' ten-year legacy, implemented in cooperation
with the IAU National Outreach Coordinators (NOCs) present in more than 130 countries worldwide.
With the IAU Strategic Plan for this decade, the IAU has established several actions for communication, outreach,
and public engagement, and I will address some of the initiatives carried out by the office with a particular focus
on the engagement with the community of professional astronomers, including the Korean community of professional astronomers.
