The project brings history to life through immersive storytelling, focusing on the courageous actions of Portuguese diplomats who defied authoritarian orders to save Jewish refugees during World War II.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Script Development with Educational Roots<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storytelling foundation of the VR4Empathy Project was laid between November 2024 and January 2025, when teachers from various subject groups at the Sever do Vouga School Group collaborated to develop the scripts. The narratives focused on the theme of refugees in transit through Portugal during the Second World War and the actions of Portuguese diplomats who, contrary to orders from the Portuguese government or by extending the strict selection criteria imposed for granting transit visas, acted to save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery
