This presentation, prepared for a workshop held at the 2024 Mezi ploty festival, features Dr Daniel Ortega from Barcelona University briefly introducing the “En tu lugar” (In Your Place) project, which uses virtual reality to improve the mental health of children and young people. The project intervenes in schools and sports, cultural and similar organizations through workshops that allow participants to experience the role of an aggressor, a victim and a disinterested observer using VR headsets and take part in a group reflection session. It is an effective method to reduce bullying, gender violence and similar behaviours and their consequences, such as anxiety and even suicide.
