The Faculty of Legal and Political Sciences of the Rey Juan Carlos University successfully held a Teaching Innovation Day entitled "Practical workshop on the use of virtual reality applied to the penitentiary field", within the framework of the European Erasmus+ Project "VR4REACT – Reducing Reactive Aggression Through Virtual Reality".

The workshop was led by Professor Carlos Fernández Abad and included the participation of the members of the URJC project: Julia Ropero, Principal Investigator; Beatriz García; Carlos Fernández Abad; and Sandra López de Zubiría Díaz, all committed to educational innovation and the use of advanced technologies to improve learning processes.

During the event, held on Thursday, March 6 in Room 153 of the Departmental Building, students, teachers and professionals from the penitentiary field participated actively using virtual reality glasses. Through these technological tools, they experienced simulated scenarios designed specifically for conflict resolution in penitentiary contexts.

The workshop is part of the European Erasmus+ project "VR4REACT", whose main objective is to reduce the rates of reactive aggression in penitentiary centres through the innovative use of virtual reality. These immersive scenarios allow participants to acquire practical skills to deal with real situations, thus improving their professional preparation.

The successful completion of the event demonstrates the ongoing commitment of the Rey Juan Carlos University to teaching innovation and the implementation of emerging technologies in such relevant and sensitive areas as the penitentiary system.
