Immersive workshop on autonomy and inclusion through virtual reality

This week, the headquarters of Grup ISOM in Figueres hosted an immersive workshop focused on personal autonomy and emotional well-being for people with intellectual disabilities and mental health conditions.

The meeting was promoted by IDEA Cultural Association, in collaboration with ISOM Association and Associació M’Magrada, and included the participation of users from Fundació Astres, an organization that supports people with disabilities and their families.

The session allowed participants to experience Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), a technology that opens new possibilities in therapeutic and educational processes. Through digital environments specifically designed for each intervention, participants were able to work on aspects related to cognition, emotional management and the improvement of personal autonomy.

These technological tools make it possible to create safe and controlled situations where participants can practice skills, reduce anxiety in certain social contexts and support cognitive rehabilitation processes. At the same time, they also provide useful resources for families and professionals who accompany these processes.

With initiatives like this, IDEA continues to promote meeting spaces between technology, culture and social action, fostering collaborative projects that help develop new tools for inclusion and improving quality of life.
