VRTeacher is a European project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, which aims to address the need for modernisation and digital transformation of education and teacher training and to strengthen the digital skills and preparation of educators through a Virtual Reality (VR) training method and tool.
The main outcomes of the VRTEACHER project are a VR-based competency framework for teacher education and a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality teacher education application that reflects real-life teacher education needs.

The innovation of the project lies in addressing the challenges related to classroom management in crisis situations, such as a pandemic, with the vision of equipping teachers with key skills through immersive and experiential training experiences that mirror real-life scenarios and situations faced during a crisis.
