The Space Education Symposium Is A Can’t Miss Virtual Event
Today’s CrowdUltra Virtual Event Of The Day is the Space Education Symposium. The Space Education Symposium
is a full-day virtual conference focusing on helping more people experience the Overview Effect, benefit from it here on Earth, and become engaged in preparing for
humanity’s rapidly approaching multi-planet future. The symposium is being held on November 12th from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM PST. The occasion is hosted by a fascinating
and forward-thinking organization called the Human Space Program, which is focused on
developing a citizen-authored blueprint for conscious space migration and stewardship of the solar ecosystem.
The Space Education Symposium is dedicated to the Overview Effect. The Overview Effect is a shift in worldview reported by people during spaceflight. It refers to the
experience of seeing firsthand the reality that the Earth is in space, a tiny, fragile ball of life, “hanging in the void,” shielded and nourished by a paper-thin
atmosphere. The experience often transforms a space traveler’s perspective on the planet and on humanity’s place in the universe. Some common aspects of it are a feeling
of awe, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
The Human Space Program is dedicated to creating space exploration as a central project for humanity to establish ethical, inclusive, and sustainable expansion into the
solar ecosystem. This is also what the symposium is focused on. The schedule is arranged so that participants can attend sessions in any strand, jumping from virtual room
to virtual room as their interests dictate. This creates many opportunities for synergy as ideas cross-pollinate between disciplines.
The symposium features a morning keynote, four concurrent sessions with multiple strands including education and consciousness, and a closing session. The education
strand is for teachers, school leaders, and others interested in preparing today’s students for the growing space economy and humanity’s rapidly approaching multi-planet
future. The consciousness strand is meant for academics, clinicians, and anyone with an interest in wellness, self development, and the mental health of humans in space
and on Earth. Other strands include culture, design, ethics, law, philosophy, technology, and more.
The full schedule of speakers and sessions has yet to be announced and will be released in the coming weeks. You can expect the lineup to be filled with brilliant minds
such as Dr. Mark Wagner and Dr. Annahita Nezami. The speakers and experts will be discussing a diverse range of fascinating subjects like the explorer’s mindset and space
craft interior design.
