The primary objective of the InclusiVR@Work Project is to "reduce the employability gap of people with disabilities in European workplaces by promoting understanding, empathy and reasonable accommodation".
We will achieve this by harnessing Virtual Reality (VR) technology to provide immersive experiences that cultivate empathy, allowing companies and HR managers to better understand the challenges faced by colleagues with disabilities and deconstruct assumptions about disability.
The primary objective of the InclusiVR@Work Project is to: "reduce the employability gap of people with disabilities in European workplaces by promoting understanding, empathy and reasonable accommodation".
The InclusiVR@Work Project uses VR and simulations as a lens through which to experience narrative and deconstruct assumptions about disability through the creation of three new Disability Simulation (DS).
Through these VR disability simulations we hope to modify attitudes regarding people with disabilities by placing people without disabilities, notably VET professionals and HR/Hiring Managers within companies, in guided situations that are designed for them to experience what it is like to have a disability.
These simulations will also be used to raise disability inclusion and advocate for reasonable accommodation to ensure that people with disabilities have equal opportunities to enter, succeed and thrive in the workplace.
InclusiVR@Work aims to create inclusive work environments in Europe where individuals of all abilities feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique skills and perspectives.
