It’s been busy in our secretariat in recent weeks while amongst other tasks, we were delighted to welcome 4 new members to our association and to start to find ways in which we can collaborate with them to maximise their engagement in the Media & Learning Association.

Today, the association has over 150 members, including makers (solution producers), users (companies) and funding prescribers. Through its actions and positioning, France Immersive Learning aims to: support the structuring of an industry and thus contribute to the objective of French digital sovereignty; promote the pedagogical virtues of immersive technologies in the fields of education, training, culture and heritage preservation and demystify immersive technologies, with the aim of making them attractive and accessible to as many people as possible.
