Me pergunto se, na realidade, o meu pensamento e frustração, não é o sentimento também de outros Asgardianos, mas se assim como eu você também não aguenta ficar parado, mesmo que você ache que não tem nenhuma coisa a oferecer, tenha a certeza de que você ainda assim pode contribuir. Não sou candidata, não pretendo (assim como já vi) pegar um cargo alto. Só tenho palavras bonitas, um amplo conhecimento em filmes, jogos, séries e animes. Mas nunca deixando de estudar para me aperfeiçoar para um futuro digno da humanidade. nunca deixando de acreditar no impossível, como dizia Walt Disney "Eu vou sempre pelo que parece ser impossível, afinal a concorrência é menor." Então se praticamente não temos "concorrência", se não estamos nessa para sermos melhores que ninguém. e se somos livres para ir e vir, pensar e agir, porque não pegamos tudo o que temos, pra colocar em prática hoje? Posso ser apenas uma menina de 20 anos que não sabe o que está dizendo, e que na verdade os nossos parlamentares assim como nosso Chefe da Nação podem estar de fato desenvolvendo coisas geniosas para nós. Mas ainda me pergunto, e quanto a nós, o que estamos fazendo para oferecer a eles, ou melhor o que estamos fazendo para merecer estas coisas geniosas? É claro que uma estação espacial não se constrói da noite para o dia e apenas com vontade e palavras bonitas. Mas entendam meu ponto, se hipoteticamente já estivesse tudo pronto para amanhã entrarmos num programa espacial de adaptação no espaço, para embarcarmos mês que vem na estação. O que faríamos quando chegassemos lá? Tiraríamos selfies e nos abraçaríamos chorando vendo como a Terra é bonita? Mas e depois? faríamos tudo o que já fazemos em Terra?

“With the undergoing paradigm shift from technological thinking based on scarcity, to space thinking based on the abundance of natural life, I believe that solutions to the world's biggest problems will be created not by governments, but by courageous leaders and their inspired communities like us the Asgardian Kingdom Resistance, The Future World Leaders”

Asgardia should be a place where we create a new democracy  that works for all citizens, therefore we should be looking at how this  can be achieved. There is no point in creating a Space Kingdom if we are  going to bring with us 20th Century solutions to 21st Century problems.  For example excessive bureaucracy and political bias.

On  this basis Asgardia should have an independently run Department of  Education that makes decisions based on the experiences of educational  professionals, students, other stake-holders including parents and  scientifically proven data rather than political whim.

The  department would be overseen by parliament who scrutinize funding, but  ultimately policy decisions should come from the Department its-self.

I  also propose as a standard, all forms of Asgardias educational policy  & delivery to be free and available to all citizens, rather than  being exposed to market forces/economics.

To  create the best education system possible we should look at the best  systems we have on earth (Finland, Singapore for example) and adapt them  to align with Asgardias mission statement.

As such I suggest the following structure;-

Department  of Education - Independent from, but funded by central government. With  anti-corruption safeguards in place from the start. For example, an  over-arching anti-corruption council that scrutinizes all government  departments.

This would include the departments;

-  Early Years (Pre-school based on language skill and  understanding/interacting with the world around them - in fun and  interesting ways!)

- Childhood (Focus on developing the  skills necessary to become humane citizens of Asgardia - emotional  intelligence, citizenship, outdoor learning, introductions to Maths and  Science as well as other core curriculum ideologies, project based and  rooted in enjoyment)

- Adolescence (Research based, more  specific giving learners the choice to specialize in other areas of  interest, introduction to testing models, critical thinking and  scientific in nature)

- Adult & Lifelong (More formal  but still fun and interactive, specific to specialist, including  apprenticeships, scholarships and other work-based learning & CPD)

Teachers  should be specialists in the delivery of the curriculum. The latest  advances in technology, learning environment design and Pegagological  understanding should applied through CPD and Critical Analysis.

Given  Asgardias very specific nature, we should also vote to include an  'Asgardia Curriculum', one which incorporates the best humanity has to  offer with the goals of the Asgardian Kingdom in Space. This needs to be  dynamic and under constant review to keep it relevant to learners needs  and our mission statement.

This  curriculum would be put together by the different strands that make up  the department of Education and would match the needs of each  learning-phase.

Please send any suggestions and I will attempt to put something basic together as a place to start.

Namaste!

Sorry I haven't been visible much lately. I have just started a new job in a factory.  After a week of training on a tough line, my hands have taken a lot of abuse.  My fingers are currently swollen and sore, so I am reduced to one finger typing at the moment.

I have about another week of torture ... I mean training and then hopefully I will get the shift I want and get off this line.  I have worked at this company before and rarely ever worked on the line I am being trained on.  I know the people on 3rd shift, they know what I can do and they wouldn't be silly enough to put me on this line ever!

Still ... I am on probation/training for 60 days so I don't have much say about things. I just have to kep trying and ignore the painful fingers.

I am still reading as much as possible and one fightr typing when I can. You know my hand is hurting when I am having trouble picking up my mug of tea and tying my shoes! Lol

I just joined, but I'm actually surprised that there wasn't a job description/skills section on the application. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I could help plan just about any mission. But why don't you guys put job description/skills section on the application. If the number of applications is limited wouldn't we as a nation want to know what skills our citizens have? It would help better understand our nation as a whole. Like are we going to be a nation of mainly futurist engineers, etc. Just a thought

I am thrilled to  to throw my hat in as a candidate for the Atlanta Mayor Office! I am a Mechanical Engineer specializing in aeronautical and astronautical systems design. I also have a deep interest in law and policy. I am incredibly excited about this unique project and look forwards to working with everyone here to make this a reality!

As a candidate for mayor my platform centers on two issues: Executive power and residency fees. If elected Mayor I would use my office to lobby for a more equitable distribution of constitutional power and lower residency fees as I believe this will result in a more equitable and successful space nation.
