This collaborative session brought together 14 teachers from five participating schools, along with six representatives from the Ministry of Education Slovenia and the University of Ljubljana. The primary objective was to develop immersive VR film scenarios that explore the impact of climate change on European biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, two compelling 360\u00b0 VR video scenarios were created:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be the Bee<\/strong> \u2013 An interactive experience that allows students to perceive the world from the perspective of a bee, highlighting the crucial role of pollinators in biodiversity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Human as the Last Airbender \u2013 Preserving The Four Seasons<\/strong> \u2013 A narrative-driven experience illustrating the devastating impact of climate change on natural seasonal cycles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These scenarios are designed to enhance students&#8217; cognitive empathy by providing immersive learning experiences, supplemented by pre- and post-viewing activities. With the support of our project partner, <strong>Khora Virtual Reality<\/strong>, this content will be seamlessly integrated into classroom lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3554 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7679-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abThe shared effort in creating the scenario was truly enjoyable.
