WORLDS OF IDEAS: VR PHILOSOPHY EXPERIENCE

Our VR Philosophy sessions use immersive virtual reality experiences to introduce students to philosophical thought experiments and moral dilemmas in a powerful, memorable way.

Instead of reading about abstract ideas, students step inside them.

Through carefully designed VR scenarios, learners encounter questions about:

• Right and wrong
   
• Reality and perception
   
• Responsibility and choice
   
• Identity, memory, and truth
   

Each experience is followed by facilitated discussion, where students are encouraged to reflect, question, and explain their reasoning in a supportive environment.

Students take part in a short, age-appropriate VR experience that places them at the centre of a philosophical dilemma. The VR acts as a shared stimulus, giving everyone a common experience to think about and discuss.

After the headset comes off, the session moves into guided dialogue, where students:

• Explore different viewpoints
   
• Justify their opinions
   
• Listen to others respectfully
   
• Develop confidence in expressing ideas
   

No prior knowledge of philosophy is needed.

Virtual reality is uniquely suited to philosophy because it:

• Makes abstract ideas concrete and personal
   
• Encourages empathy and perspective-taking
   
• Engages students who may struggle with traditional text-based learning
   
• Creates a memorable starting point for discussion
   

Students are not told what to think. Instead, they are invited to think carefully and think together.

• Primary (Years 4–6):
  Exploring fairness, choices, consequences, and empathy through accessible moral dilemmas.
   
• Secondary schools:
  Investigating ethical questions, responsibility, reality, and decision-making.
   
• Colleges:
  Engaging with deeper philosophical problems, critical thinking, and structured debate.
   

Sessions are fully facilitated, inclusive, and designed to support PSHE, Citizenship, Philosophy, Ethics, and Critical Thinking curricula.

• Improved reasoning and discussion skills
   
• Greater confidence expressing ideas
   
• Experience engaging with complex questions
   
• Respect for differing viewpoints
