The Cosmic Perspective

Objectives

  • To identify the characteristics, roles and responsibilities of being a cosmic citizen.
  • To reflect on human existence as atypical life in a typically cold, dark and hostile universe.
  • To understand why we are lucky to be alive and exist.

Key Concepts

  • Cosmic Citizenship

Module overview

At its core, the cosmic perspective is about zooming out and seeing the big picture. It involves acknowledging our place in the cosmos and stepping back and contemplating our purpose in the grand scheme of things.

We live in a world where many young learners are already global citizens. In this module, we will move beyond being a global citizen and think of ourselves as citizens of the universe.
