About the Project
This pilot project synergises science education and communication with social psychology and public health expertise. Its goal is to craft an interactive narrative centred around Aletta Jacobs, a pioneering Dutch female scholar.
We are transforming static texts into an engaging and reflective experience. The fictional narrative draws from historical research to offer significant insights while stimulating a thoughtful read. The narrative is connected with captivating and immersive VR imagery and multimedia resources, fostering a more profound understanding.
This approach enhances the connection with Aletta's journey. It allows us to perceive her not as a distant figure but as a relatable and inspiring woman with a deeply personal commitment to human rights.
