[Please see attached 6-page case for further details.]Periastra is about making worlds meet and exploring our place in the Universe through different knowledge systems. In this scenario, science is the empirical and quantitative inquiry, and art is the aesthetic and emotional inquiry of the Universe and our place in it. This proposal recognises that the communication of scientific results is a vital part of academic research and will allow for this. But we also see it crucial to enable first-hand experience on how science is done: we will facilitate creative collisions to experience and discuss the joys, perils, pitfalls and struggles of scientific research and of creating new knowledge. We want to invite questions related to the definition of success and failure and to consider scientific research as a deeply human endeavour that can be done by anyone with an inquisitive mind.We envision two stages of the project, in order to reach both the general public of Lewisham and beyond as well as young children of the STFC Wonder Initiative. In the first stage, 'Periastra' will facilitate the creation, communication and exhibition of collaborative astronomy researched art to the general public as well as specifically to participating primary school children. In a second stage, these children will co-create themselves in their own settings as well as in the gallery, facilitated by experienced ArtScienctists and creative technologists, i.e., people that are familiar with integrating art and science. The children will be able to exhibit their creations and learning outcomes in the same gallery space as the professional participants and invite their parents and carers to come along. The overall aim for this second stage is to foster curiosity and creativity without the fear of failure and the ability to ask and investigate questions collaboratively based on the themes and explorations of the first stage. We want the children to interact with role models, and have taken care to invite professionals they are more likely to identify with. Children and adults alike will learn that there are multiple ways to engage with a question - by allowing scientific and creative answers side by side. We ask big questions: What is in outer space? How did the universe begin? What are we all made of? How does the world around us work? And what is my place in this all? These questions are universal and engaging with these questions extend beyond formal training.Together with our project partners, we are able to provide safe spaces for collaboration, creativity, imagination and innovation skills, which are the declared outcomes of 21st century learning (e.g., Nakano 2018) and prominently feature in considerations of employability of today's highly competitive and congested global market (Helyer 2015). However, a comprehensive approach to creativity is hard to teach; nor can "wonder" and "intuition" be taught (Elkins 2017). However, far beyond conventional "classroom teaching", engaging, playing and experiencing joy with aspects of science and art, as we envision and anticipate through Periastra, can foster all of the above. Our focus on the human, creative and joyful aspect of research we want to discuss the human learning processes through brilliant original mistakes, supporting a re-thinking of the paradox of culture's deep seated fear of being wrong. We want to lead experiences that show that science questions evolve over time and can be created, evolved and answered by anyone - including someone that looks like them or has a similar background. We thus anticipate events for all ages centred around these topics and aim to de-mystify science as an "ivory tower" subject for the "selected few". Children also do not need to know "What they want to be when they grow up" but we want them to understand that the world can be understood through multiple knowledge systems, some that are based on expressions and others based on explanation.

[详情请见附件中的6页案例。]《星际争霸》是关于通过不同的知识系统让世界相遇，并探索我们在宇宙中的位置。在这个场景中，科学是经验的和定量的探究，艺术是对宇宙和我们在其中的位置的审美和情感的探究。这项建议承认，科学成果的交流是学术研究的重要组成部分，并将使之成为可能。但我们也认为，让第一手体验科学是如何完成的是至关重要的：我们将促进创造性的碰撞，体验和讨论科学研究和创造新知识的快乐、危险、陷阱和挣扎。我们想邀请与成功和失败的定义相关的问题，并将科学研究视为一项深刻的人类努力，任何有好奇心的人都可以完成。我们设想该项目分为两个阶段，以便接触到路易斯汉姆和其他地区的普通公众以及STFC Wonder Initiative的年幼儿童。在第一阶段，“天文周刊”将促进合作天文研究艺术的创作、交流和展览，面向公众，特别是参与活动的小学生。在第二阶段，这些孩子将在他们自己的环境中以及在画廊里共同创作，由经验丰富的艺术科学主义者和创意技术专家(即熟悉将艺术和科学相结合的人)协助。孩子们将能够在与专业参与者相同的画廊空间展示他们的创作和学习成果，并邀请他们的父母和照顾者一起来。第二阶段的总体目标是培养好奇心和创造力，而不是害怕失败，以及根据第一阶段的主题和探索合作提出和调查问题的能力。我们希望孩子们与榜样互动，并注意邀请他们更有可能认同的专业人士。无论是孩子还是成年人，都会学到有多种方式来回答一个问题--让科学和创造性的答案并存。我们会问一些大问题：外层空间里有什么？宇宙是如何开始的？我们都是由什么组成的？我们周围的世界是如何运作的？我在这一切中的地位是什么？这些问题是普遍的，涉及到这些问题的范围超出了正规培训。通过与我们的项目合作伙伴合作，我们能够为协作、创造力、想象力和创新技能提供安全的空间，这些都是21世纪学习的申报成果(例如，Nakano 2018)，并在考虑当今竞争激烈和拥挤的全球市场的就业能力方面具有突出特点(Helyer 2015)。然而，很难教授一种全面的创造力方法；也不能教授“好奇”和“直觉”(Elkins 2017)。然而，远远超出传统的“课堂教学”，让喜悦参与、玩耍和体验科学和艺术的方方面面，正如我们通过Peristra所预见和预期的那样，可以促进上述所有这些。我们关注人类、创造性和快乐的研究方面，我们想通过辉煌的原创错误来讨论人类的学习过程，支持对文化对错误的根深蒂固的恐惧这一悖论的重新思考。我们希望领导的经验表明，科学问题会随着时间的推移而演变，任何人都可以创造、演变和回答这些问题--包括长得像他们或有相似背景的人。因此，我们预计所有年龄段的活动都将围绕这些主题展开，并致力于让科学成为“精选少数人”的“象牙塔”主题。孩子们也不需要知道他们长大后想做什么，但我们希望他们明白，世界可以通过多种知识系统来理解，一些基于表达，另一些基于解释。
