Gender Equality through Virtual Reality

This project explored the potential of immersive digital technologies in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and fostering gender-equitable behaviours among young people in Trinidad and Tobago. Through interactive workshops, virtual reality (VR) experiences, and cultural exhibitions, the Lab engaged participants in discussions on gender norms and advocacy, integrating storytelling with cutting-edge technology.

The lab demonstrated how VR can serve as a powerful tool for advocacy, sparking meaningful discussions on gender equality. Key learnings highlighted the importance of balancing technological engagement with thematic conversations. Moving forward, the team aims to focus on expanding local collaborations, refining training methodologies, and developing a youth-led storytelling network using immersive media.
