课程名称：轨道视角入门 课程概述：本课程旨在提高学生的批判性思维能力、全球意识以及在日益复杂的全球就业市场中作为团队一部分的工作能力。课程内容包括团队建设、协作和同理心等技能的基础，以一些世界上最有效的合作项目（如地球崛起2068项目）为实际案例。 国际空间站的生活是一种强大的、变革性的体验，可能是解决地球问题的关键。在太空行走和透过窗口观望地球时，课程讲师罗恩·加兰被地球的美丽所震撼，但也意识到我们需要做多少工作来帮助这个受困的星球。在国际空间站，加兰与曾经的“敌人”——俄罗斯人并肩工作。如果十五个国家能够在历史上最具雄心、技术复杂的工程之一上进行合作，那么我们也可以把这种合作和创新应用于创造一个更美好的世界。 在本课程中，加兰将分享与来自不同背景的人们在仅有少数人曾经体验过的环境中合作的经历。更重要的是，课程将探讨如何将轨道视角应用于我们的日常生活，拥抱新的合作伙伴关系和流程，以促进和平，抗击饥饿、口渴、贫困以及环境破坏。这个课程呼吁每个人关注最重要的“空间站”：地球。 此外，课程还将参与地球崛起2068项目。学员将与来自全球的人们共同帮助制定2068年的未来愿景以及实现这一愿景的道路图。同时，学员还将参与制定一份“行动呼吁”，该呼吁将在2017年9月的联合国大会上进行发布。 课程大纲： 1. **轨道视角**：介绍轨道视角的概念及其对全球社会的影响。 2. **仰望天空 - 第一部分**：探讨国际空间站伙伴关系的历史及早期面临的技术与文化挑战。 3. **仰望天空 - 第二部分**：分析国际空间站的合作是如何形成的，以及如何通过克服文化差异实现合作。 4. **俯瞰地球 - 第一部分**：分享第一次太空任务中体验到的深刻视角转变，并探讨轨道视角的意义。 5. **俯瞰地球 - 第二部分**：探讨我们用来构建世界观的框架及其后果，并比较有效与无效的合作形式。 6. **展望未来 - 第一部分**：探讨连接全球智慧的努力，分析全球合作的障碍及其解决方法。 7. **展望未来 - 第二部分**：审视迅速增长的协作技术如何改变人们和组织之间的互动。 8. **行动呼吁 - 第一部分**：将所有课程联系起来，激发全球对深层合作的讨论。 9. **行动呼吁 - 第二部分**：创建地球飞船的实际或虚拟“控制室”方法讨论。 10. **行动呼吁 - 第三部分**：继续推动地球崛起2068项目的动力方法讨论。 通过这一系列课程，学生将不仅能获取理论知识，还能在全球层面上促进实际的合作与创新。
Name:The Orbital Perspective
Description:In this first lesson the student will be introduced to the concept of the Orbital Perspective and given a glimpse to its implications for our global society.
Name:Looking Skyward - Part 1
Description:In this lesson the student will be introduced to the history leading up to the International Space Station (ISS) partnership and to some of the technical and cultural challenges that faced the partners in the early days of the International Space Station Program
Name:Looking Skyward - Part II
Description:How did we go from those early days of mistrust and suspicion to building and operating the International Space Station? What was the secret ingredient that enabled a coalition of fifteen nations to work together systematically, in a fully integrated manner, to construct and operate the most complex structure ever built in space? Is there something we can learn from how the members of the ISS program learned to overcome differences and cultural misunderstandings in order to accomplish remarkable things together? Can we use these same techniques to reach agreements on things such as alleviating poverty, mitigating climate change, or achieving peaceful solutions to long-term conflicts?”
Name:Looking Earthward - Part I
Description:In this lesson the instructor will share a profound shift in perspective experienced during his first space mission and take a deep dive into the meaning of the orbital perspective. We will also explore examples how taking an orbital perspective can affect our global society.
Name:Looking Earthward - Part II
Description:In this lesson we will explore the frameworks we use to construct our view of the world and the implications of taking on a conviction that we do not have to accept the suffering and conflict on our planet as inescapable. This lesson will also compare and contrast effective and ineffective forms of collaboration.
Name:Looking Forward - Part I
Description:In the third section of the course "Looking Forward", we will explore some of the many efforts to connect billions of minds and tap into our collective global genius. We will further examine the barriers to global collaboration and explore ways to break down those barriers. And we will hear some stories about amazing people who are building bridges to collaboration and making great strides toward overcoming our world’s biggest challenges. This lesson will also explore what factors led to success in a very high stakes situation. Participants will be exposed to some of the “perverse incentives” that limit the effectiveness of global humanitarian development and crisis response efforts. This lesson should lead to a discussion on how to better provide assistance worldwide.
Name:Looking Forward - Part II
Description:The exponential increase in collaborative technology is rapidly rewriting the way people and organizations interact. In this lesson we’ll look at several movements and initiatives that are synthesizing the orbital perspective and the worm’s eye view, making vast amounts of information accessible and bringing large groups of people together to work toward common causes. In some cases, collaboration is not facilitated by long-term personal relationships. Instead, the bond is the common cause, the shared experience, and in some cases simply being given the permission and means to help.
Name:Call to Action - Part I
Description:In these last three concluding lessons we will connect all the previous lessons into a specific “Call to Action”. Included in the call to action is a desire to spark a global conversation about the need to have a deeper level of collaboration toward solving the world’s toughest and most seemingly intractable problem. In the lesson participants will be exposed to some of the efforts that are rewriting the way humans interact on and off our planet.
Name:Call to Action - Part II
Description:This lesson will focus on methods to create an actual or virtual “Control Room of Spaceship Earth”.
Name: Call to Action - Part III
Description:This concluding lesson will focus on ways to continue the momentum that was created by the course and continue to propel the Earthrise-2068 project forward.
The goals of this course are to develop the student’s critical thinking skills, global awareness, and ability to work as an integral part of a team in an increasingly complex global job market. The course provides a foundation in such skills as team building, collaboration, and elevated empathy using real-world scenarios from some of world’s most effective collaborative projects including the Earthrise-2068 Project. Living on the International Space Station was a powerful, transformative experience—one that could hold the key to solving our problems here on Earth. On space walks and through windows, course instructor Ron Garan was struck by the stunning beauty of the Earth from space but sobered by knowing how much needed to be done to help this troubled planet. And yet on the International Space Station, Garan, a former fighter pilot, was working work side by side with Russians, who only a few years before were “the enemy.” If fifteen nations could collaborate on one of the most ambitious, technologically complicated undertakings in history, surely we can apply that kind of cooperation and innovation toward creating a better world. In this course Garan will convey what it was like learning to work with a diverse group of people in an environment only a handful of human beings have ever known. But more importantly, the course will address how we can apply the orbital perspective here at home, embracing new partnerships and processes to promote peace and combat hunger, thirst, poverty, and environmental destruction. This course is a call to action for each of us to care for the most important space station of all: planet Earth. The course will also involve participation in the Earthrise-2068 project. Working with people from around the world, students will help craft a vision of our future in the year 2068. Students will also help craft a crowdsource strategy for both the co-envisioned future of the world in 2068 and a roadmap to get there. Students will also participate in the crafting of a “call-to-action” to be delivered at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2017.
