This document discusses using virtual reality and partnerships to address educational challenges and support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It describes two projects using VR in schools in Terrassa, Spain: 1) An immersive experience to prevent bullying by allowing students to experience different perspectives, and 2) A reflection and debate VR immersion to prevent gender violence, promote inclusion, and address other issues. It advocates co-research and co-design to help AR and VR surpass traditional school constraints and foster new skills like transmedia literacy.
