Thanks to the sponsorship of the Split-based car rental company Viator, we have received another set of VR headsets at Peristyle. We are preparing a workshop on creating media content for high school and university students that will include virtual reality content, ready for this year’s Festival of Science, which will take place at the University of Split from May 5 to 10. This year’s theme is NETWORKS.
Virtual reality has been present in the lives of children and young people for quite some time, and it is important to include it in educational processes so that young people can critically engage with virtual content. Media and information literacy—which involves critical evaluation of media content as well as the processes of their creation and distribution—is the foundation of the Communication and Media program. This is precisely what distinguishes our program among similar studies in Croatia.
We sincerely thank Viator for this valuable donation and for supporting the development of our program. We hope this is just the beginning of a beautiful collaboration.
