Season 7 Episode #28 Fostering Empathy: Virtual Reality in Cultural Competence Training
Description
In this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat, host Jebeh Edmunds explores how Virtual Reality (VR) can be a powerful tool to build empathy and cultural competence in classrooms and workplaces.
Imagine walking through a bustling marketplace in another country—where even greetings and eye contact feel unfamiliar. VR offers this kind of immersive perspective-taking, helping learners recognize assumptions and practice inclusive responses. But, as Jebeh emphasizes, VR is not a cure-all—it’s most effective when paired with skilled facilitation, reflection, and real-world action.
You’ll also learn how to use VR safely and ethically, with practical tips for opt-in alternatives, accessibility supports, and ensuring psychological safety for all participants.
🎧 Tune in to discover how you can harness VR to create meaningful, budget-friendly learning experiences that bring cultural competence to life.
