Eexplore the Virtual Reality in Cities of Learning (VirtualCoL) project — an international Erasmus+ initiative bringing together partners from across Europe to discover how virtual and augmented reality can create new opportunities for learning, creativity, participation, and connection among young people. The VirtualCoL journey began with an international training course where youth workers, artists, educators, and youth leaders got hands-on VR technology. From digital spray painting and DJing to 3D design, immersive games, and collaborative virtual environments, participants experimented with different ways immersive technology could become a meaningful part of youth work.
During this Community Call, we will share experiences and learning from the project so far, explore the opportunities VR can bring to youth work and non-formal learning, and discuss some of the important questions that come with introducing immersive technologies into our practice.
- When: Thursday, 24 September 2026, between 13:00 and 14:30 CET
- Where: Via Zoom
- How: Please register in advance HERE.
