MEE & de Wering is a care organization that helps people that are in need of (temporary) support, to optimally participate within our society. One of their activities is “Jongerenwerk” in Den Helder.
In the first week of May 2021 we created a VR experience together with youngsters from Den Helder on the subject of carrying knives. The prototype was created in collaboration with Mee & de Wering Jongerenwerk, in collaboration with cultural center Triade, and partner Gamessolutionlab in Eindhoven.
Together with MEE & de Wering we want to involve more organisations in further developing VR experiences for other subjects within youth work. Here you can find more information.
The final game was co-created with youth from Rotterdam, Zaanstad and Den Helder. It was launched on 13 February 2023 and featured in major media.
