Humanity360 provides a platform to bring cultural exploration and understanding into classrooms using virtual reality experiences and exercises that strengthen empathy and perspective-taking.
​
Designed as a 10-week learning program, H360’s first module introduces students to important global themes and real-life challenges. Developed by educators and cultural researchers in collaboration with international partners, Humanity360 is designed for students ages 13 to 16 to encounter new topics each week, presented through the story of an individual in a different part of the world navigating daily life in their unique environment.
