GLOBAL RESILIENCE EDUCATION
Global Resilience Education will guide the next-generation, youth empowering, web-enabled, communicative knowledge-sharing network. It would organize resilience education training on sustainable development and enhance international security cooperation for young leaders beyond 2030. Global Resilience Partners worldwide would draw together a global collaboration framework, making knowledge actionable and moving from challenges to opportunities to solutions. The end-state would include a permanent Global Resilience University as part of a Regional Resilience Centers’ globally distributed network coordinated by a unique strategy analysis unit, the Global Challenges Situation Room.
The flagship of Global Resilience Education is the proposed Global Resilience University. It will promote a new model for tomorrow with faster learning through experiment-driven testing. It will foster portfolios of potential solutions allowing consideration of mutual solutions in parallel. To succeed at the operational level, the Global Resilience University must provide robust mechanisms for fostering higher levels of collaboration, including co-evolved composable organizations, strategic concepts, and resilience doctrines, among nations at many levels, using cutting-edge technologies. It will lead to transformational networking, education, and technology approaches that can help people address emerging, urgent, and compelling challenges.
We need a Global Resilience University to share knowledge of partner capabilities, promote skills in building rapport, negotiating, and influencing; and enhance positive attitudes toward unfamiliar approaches. It is needed to foster integrated learning approaches that overcome silos of education and create the basis for integrated action. The virtual university needs to be a multifaceted, multinational, multi-year strategic, and versatile digital hub connecting regional academic and operational Global Resilience Consortium partners with a platform of integrated services allowing participants to share knowledge and to collaborate, plan, and execute together.
As a primary source of specialized education for Global Resilience Partners, the Global Resilience University will foster communities of practice, and provide robust mechanisms for higher levels of collaboration. It should prioritize expanding, developing, and networking next-generation youth leaders worldwide and stay abreast of emergent social media and information technologies.
