VITAL - A Modular VR & AR Based Educational Toolkit to Help EU Adults Foster Climate Neutral Practices

Abstract

The VITAL project is motivated by the EU’s Green Deal Action Plan and the exploitation of two Erasmus+ priorities - the fight against climate change combined with digital transformation, in this case in the adult education sector. Various studies, statistics and surveys show that the rate of natural resource extraction is rapidly growing and our planet and the home of mankind can come to exhaustion of its finite resources. In a nutshell, the behaviour and lifestyle of EU Citizens in terms of consumption and use of products and services need to be influenced so that we all contribute daily actions that are more sustainable and aligned with best practices leading to carbon neutrality. In the contribution, we would like to inform about a course and materials developed within our Erasmus+ project that could serve various target users (adult trainers, schools, NGOs, municipal authorities, etc.) to get information about the principles and provide a set of hands-on activities enriched with AR technology features.
