Through a <strong>participatory storytelling approach<\/strong>, we brought together the real experts: teachers and students. In dynamic <strong>co-design sessions<\/strong>, educators acted as architects of learning, while students became authors of their own digital worlds. Together, they used creative templates to weave narratives that reflected their <strong>diverse cultural voices<\/strong> and unique perspectives.<\/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=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4659 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/virtualreality4empathy.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VR4E-Behind_scenes-PT-68-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure these stories were both meaningful and accurate, they travelled across borders for a rigorous process of reflection and refinement.
