In fact, as forward-thinking educators know, the future of work will demand flexible, culturally fluent, emotionally intelligent workers.

Cultural competence and emotional intelligence aren\u2019t just nice features &#8211; they\u2019re essential skills when your team might include people from Nigeria, China, Italy, and Canada! And as the tired hierarchies of the <em>Mad Men<\/em> era are dismantled, more people are working on small, flexible teams of equals, shifting authority as tasks require. To lead without a title, workers need to have sharpened their interpersonal skills to a fine edge, and savvy employers are looking for these talents when they think about retention and promotion. As Marsha Rideout, the director of admissions at Synapse, a school that actively teaches emotional intelligence, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2016-08-16-stanford-experiments-with-virtual-reality-social-emotional-learning-and-oculus-rift\">explains<\/a>, \u201cIQ will get you your job, but EQ will keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the cutting-edge of education, we can already see innovative approaches to help children and young adults acquire and refine the key components of emotional intelligence &#8211; things like empathy, compassion, and understanding.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50200\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-50200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/virtual-reality-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"A classroom full of children wearing Google Cardboard VR headsets\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/virtual-reality-1024x576-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/virtual-reality-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/virtual-reality-1024x576-1-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the cutting-edge of education, we can already see innovative approaches to help children and young adults acquire and refine the key components of emotional intelligence &#8211; things like empathy, compassion, and understanding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What teachers and researchers alike have discovered is that virtual reality (VR) is an ideal tool for building these emotional resources. Kids aren\u2019t naturally empathic &#8211; these are skills that must be practiced and taught. Because VR can create an immersive experience, it\u2019s invaluable for helping young learners feel emotions, navigate complex situations, and step into someone else\u2019s shoes for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Schools in Texas and Hawaii use VR to improve empathy<\/h2>\n<p>For instance, at Chisholm Trail Middle School in Texas, the students in Chris Caldwell\u2019s English classes aren\u2019t just learning literature, though they start there. To better connect with the horrors of the Holocaust, Caldwell has them start by reading things like <em>The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas<\/em> and the play <em>Anne Frank<\/em>. In the past, his students found it too easy to distance themselves from the suffering these works portray, but now, when Caldwell has them don VR goggles, they\u2019re immersed in the terrors of Nazi-occupied Europe in a way they never were before. While they initially see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/keynote\/the-future-of-education\/\">VR experience<\/a> as fun, that changes quickly. As Caldwell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2018-05-29-how-ar-and-vr-are-being-used-to-teach-sel\">says<\/a>, the \u201creality of the horror of what was in front of them\u201d becomes far more vivid, and it\u2019s not as easy to distance themselves from the suffering of others.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of empathy and compassion isn\u2019t just good for business, it\u2019s good for society, too. But it\u2019s unfortunately common for people to lack a real sense of the lives of others. That\u2019s why at Hawaii\u2019s Mid-Pacific Institute, the mostly wealthy students are given a VR tour of what it\u2019s like to be homeless &#8211; something they know almost nothing about. The idea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2018-05-29-how-ar-and-vr-are-being-used-to-teach-sel\">explains<\/a> Brian Grantham, Mid-Pacific\u2019s director of education technology, is to give these children of privilege a better sense of what it\u2019s like to see your life unravel, often through no fault of your own. The goal is to broaden their perspective, encourage empathy, and help them understand what other people know far too well &#8211; and so far, it appears to be working.<\/p>\n<h2>Stanford is experimenting with VR to fight racism<\/h2>\n<p>In an increasingly multicultural society and workplace, appreciating difference is important. And subtle biases can undercut otherwise productive relationships, though no one intends to do anything wrong. American stand-up comedian, actor, and producer Dave Chappelle once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/09\/28\/changing-your-race-in-virtual-reality\/\">quipped<\/a> that &#8220;If you had some glasses that someone could put on just to see the world how you saw the world, it&#8217;d be probably f&#8212;-g terrifying.&#8221; Now VR can allow just that, providing a clear sense of how other people see the world across the \u2018colour line\u2019, or what American sociologist and civil rights activist William Edward Burghardt Du Bois calls the \u2018veil\u2019 separating white and black.<\/p>\n<p>To help people feel how racism hurts, to help them understand the realities of living while brown, Stanford University, home to the Virtual Human Interaction Lab, has partnered with the Brown Institute for Media Innovation to create an immersive experience of everyday racism. Called <em>1000 Cut Journey<\/em>, this virtual experience places users in the person of someone who\u2019s just trying to live a normal life &#8211; someone just like them &#8211; but who faces constant, casual racism throughout his day. Its goal is to increase empathy and study the psychological changes that this kind of immersive experience can create, lessening bias. And as users experience the subtle cues that shape blackness in America, they often feel a profound sense of discomfort. As Dr Courtney Cogburn, a leading researcher in the field of race, bias, and health, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/09\/28\/changing-your-race-in-virtual-reality\/\">explains<\/a>, because of the first-person immersion, \u201cYou may be affected even if you don&#8217;t notice that it&#8217;s happened \u2026 Even if you can&#8217;t articulate to me what it was about the school scene that made you feel uncomfortable, we know what happened in the scene that may have triggered that response.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Can VR Teach Racial Empathy? | Mach | NBC News\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N5Ya9F28ks4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Virtual reality is an innovative tool, precisely because its experience is so immersive and visceral. By harnessing that advantage for emotional learning, it\u2019s better preparing children for the future of work and helping to create a more just society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cultural competence and emotional intelligence aren\u2019t just nice features &#8211; they\u2019re essential skills Schools in Texas and Hawaii use VR to improve empathy Stanford is experimenting with VR to fight racism Increasingly, education isn\u2019t all about maths, sciences, and languages.
