Higher Education programmes on Immersive journalism approach
The project
Use of immersive technologies in the journalism, media and communication sector
The iStream project is an Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships in higher education (KA220-HED). It intends to bridge the gap of competences in the use of immersive technologies in the media, journalism and

mismatch in the European media and communication sector.

- to improve knowledge, skills and competences of curricula developers in order to develop and integrate academic training paths focused on immersive journalism
- to improve knowledge, skills and competences of Higher Education teachers and trainers necessary to implement academic courses related to the profile of the immersive journalist.
- to raise awareness of the potential of the use of immersive technologies in the communication and media sector
