We are proud to announce the beginning of the VRTEACHER project that is funded under the Erasmus+ programme. The official kick-off meeting of the project was held online on 9 and 10 June 2021. The VRTEACHER project aims to empower the personal and professional development of educators/teachers through a novel Virtual Reality (VR) based approach and tool. 6 partners from 5 countries joined online for a productive and fruitful meeting, brainstorming on the next steps of the project.
