EmpowerHer Workshop: Innovation in Action
As part of the conference program, EmpowerHer will be presented in a hands-on workshop. Titled
“Qualification through Virtual Reality – The EmpowerHer Example”,
the session will introduce participants to our innovative use of Virtual Reality (VR) in vocational education and training.

Attendees will learn about our approach, tools, and early outcomes, including the development of VR training videos, profession-specific language modules, and interactive learning materials designed for both learners and VET professionals.
