Project description
Next generation to fight against climate change
The increasing impact of climate change, ranging from more frequent and dangerous natural disasters to reduced crop yields and disrupted weather patterns, has further emphasised the need for action for future generations. The recent uptake in interest and advancement in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality technologies has led to improved availability and accessibility, allowing many to take advantage of these technologies. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the VISTA project will develop a design-based research initiative to enhance lower-secondary school student awareness of climate change and its consequences, preparing and encouraging the next generation to take action.
Objective
The Virtual Immersion for Student Awareness of Climate Change project (VISTA) is a design-based research initiative aimed at enhancing lower-secondary school students’ awareness of climate change and its global consequences. Climate change and its adverse effects on individuals are among the most critical and pressing global issues in today’s world. To address this worldwide challenge and foster environmentally conscious societies, it is paramount to cultivate awareness among children and young individuals, who will shape the workforce and society of tomorrow. The overall aim of VISTA is to design, implement and evaluate virtual reality-based interventions to raise students’ awareness of climate change, its global consequences and possible responses. Furthermore, the project seeks to evaluate the influence of virtual reality (VR)-based interventions in secondary education, leveraging VR’s potential to provide students with immersive, realistic, and highly effective environmental experiences.
