These VR-based lesson plans, created with support from Khora, are set to be seamlessly integrated into classrooms across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newsletter also highlights the recent transnational project meeting in Athens, where consortium partners discussed key progress on lesson plans, VR video scripts, and the upcoming &#8216;Train the Trainers&#8217; programme. Additionally, it marks the beginning of VR film production, with Khora&#8217;s team capturing powerful stories across Greece, Portugal, and Slovenia to help students connect deeply with historical events, such as World War II and refugee experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, the newsletter introduces the XR4Education Network, an exciting initiative to promote immersive learning experiences that foster not only academic growth but also important social and emotional skills like empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, the partner spotlight section takes a closer look at the Ministries partners\u2014DGE, IEP, and MoE\u2014who are instrumental in ensuring the project\u2019s success, especially in areas like quality assurance, curriculum development, and teacher training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay updated with VR4Empathy!
