On Wednesday 17 June, our project partners led a workshop at the Media & Learning 2026: Co-creating the Future of Learning Conference, exploring how immersive learning strategies can strengthen Education for Sustainable Development.
The session used the TREnD (Teaching Resilience and Environmental Democracy) project as a case study and was led by Dario Fazzi (Leiden University) and Gaetano Di Tommaso (Roosevelt Institute for American Studies).
Participants looked at how approaches such as virtual exchange, critical mapping, and immersive technologies can deepen learning and build intercultural understanding. The discussion also got into the practical side: how do these methods fit into existing curricula, how can they be assessed fairly, and what does inclusive and ethical implementation look like?
The workshop reflected broader questions the TREnD project is working through – how education can equip learners with the resilience, digital skills, and environmental awareness needed to navigate today’s socio-ecological challenges.
