Course Outcomes

  • Observe and recognize micro-aggressions and exclusions based on real experiences
  • Practice perspective-taking and empathy in an immersive environment through a first-person lens
  • Reflect on the assumptions and biases they themselves hold - and the impact these may have on others
  • We encourage a group discussion after working through the experience.

The human brain receives a vast amount of information every single second. In order to handle this cognitive load, we rely on heuristics and algorithms that we’ve built up through our life experiences - but this also leaves us all prone to biases and stereotypes.

VirtualSpeech and Rewire Group have designed a character-driven immersive VR learning experience targeted at senior leadership. Our goal is to create an experience that facilitates perspective-taking and drives empathy.

Witnessed from the perspective of working mum, Anushka, you'll be led through 6 different scenarios, from a team meeting to after work drinks where you will feel first-hand the repeated impact of assumptions and biases held by her colleagues.
