How can immersive technologies (XR,VR,AR) support meaningful, inclusive and engaging youth work?
E-learning
30 November 2026 | Online via Zoom, Norway
Discover how immersive technologies can support your work with young people. This interactive online session introduces the practical resources developed through MEFER — MEtaverse Futures: Education beyond Realms, and explores how to use them in non-formal education and everyday youth work.
Through presentations, a live demonstration and discussion, we will connect the possibilities of extended reality (XR), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) with the needs of youth workers and the young people they support.
Discover the MEFER resources
• Needs assessment report: Explore findings on youth workers’ needs, challenges and opportunities related to immersive technologies.
• Training curriculum: Discover learning resources addressing digital ethics, cybersecurity, inclusion, well-being and youth engagement in virtual environments.
• 3D Virtual Learning Platform: Join a guided demonstration showing how to navigate the platform, access educational materials and use them in youth work.
What will you gain?
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
• Identify MEFER resources relevant to your organisation and target groups.
• Understand how to start using the curriculum and 3D learning platform.
• Recognise inclusion, safety and ethical considerations when introducing immersive technologies.
• Identify a practical way to apply the resources in your own youth work setting.
You will also have the opportunity to ask questions, exchange perspectives and discuss possible applications with other participants.
