Objectives

Accelerate the adoption of Social Virtual Reality (SVR) for communication and collaboration. Equip participants with necessary skills to become digitally ready, resilient and capable of adapting to new and changing digital environments. Facilitate the integration of this new and promising technology into the digital transformation strategies of Higher Education Institutions (HEI's), corporations and organizations. Promote entrepreneurial skills and key competencies for lifelong learning.

Activities

The project has an international, multidisciplinary and collaborative nature. It applies active learning events and scenario thinking to promote a more engaged approach to learning. This holistic and meaningful learning experience fosters common values and civic engagement. Collaboration between HEIs, businesses, entrepreneurs and consultants provides exposure to diverse perspectives and knowledge, facilitates cooperation and helps to bridge the gap between education and business.

Impact

The project offers a roadmap and inspiration to explore potential opportunities, challenges and effective application of SVR. Outputs include a digital ecosystem featuring a web shop with free immersive spaces co-created by multiple generations of students, a virtual gallery, instructions for creating and customizing SVR, guidelines for creating virtual social activities through scenario thinking, transferable outputs and research papers encouraging engagement from youth, HEIs, and business.
