SCROLL DOWN
ABOUT
We plan to have two results that will complement each other
01
Educational Methodological Framework for Implementation of Virtual Reality in Supported Employment and Career Counselling
According to our research, the image of how VR can function in this area is very vague. Counsellors are excited to hear about such a possibility but they are not able to imagine what it is about.
With result 1 and in connection to result 2 we will be able to support their courage to implement new technological ways into their daily practice. They will have a methodological framework of how to implement VR, completed with created VR simulations to explore, read about the whole process and experience of real counsellors in the reports.
02
Collection of Best Practice reports
This collection should illustrate concrete, real examples of how VR works in a daily practice of SE and CC. The more counsellors and providers of SE and CC are willing to implement VR into their practice, the more it will serve for the quality of their services.
The higher the quality of services, the better the chance for the clients' (people with disabilities) inclusion. The client will develop her skills better, the employer will be more inclined to give this person a job and the sustainability of the job for the client will be enhanced.
AGENDA
About the Training activities:
C1
Content Creation
DONE IN MAY 2022 in the UK
In C1 our British partner introduced to all the learners their previous scenarios from the previous project, how they used them, and why they are not sufficient anymore.
C2
Authoring
DONE in June 2022 in RO
In C2 there was a part devoted to the client´s surroundings - family, carers, guardians, social workers, and also employers - about using VR which was prepared by Romanian partners.
C3
Content Distribution
DONE in October 2022 in Poland
our Polish partner prepared the discussion about the transferability of the project results which was based on their practice.
C4
Adjustments
DONE in May/June 2023 in Slovenia
During C4 we got inspiration e.g. from our British colleagues who introduced us to their reports which they used to get feedback from their clients who used VR.
