Immersive Theatre Training (ITT) for Safety & Skills in Theatre

The project 'Immersive Theatre Training (ITT)' represents a groundbreaking innovation in the field of education and training for theatre and event technicians and managers. Through the targeted use of immersive technologies, the project revolutionizes professional qualification in the theatre and event industry. The VR-based learning environments enable practice-oriented and resource-efficient training that is not only cost-effective but also contributes to the long-term safety of staff and audiences. This is a key factor for the success of cultural events and strengthens the competitiveness of the European cultural and event industry. A central economic potential lies in addressing the shortage of skilled workers: through practical, interactive, and modern training formats, access to the profession is facilitated and existing professionals can be efficiently upskilled. This promotes long-term stability and growth within the industry, which directly impacts the economic performance of the internal market. The multilingual and location-independent learning opportunities additionally foster intercultural collaboration and enable access to knowledge across national borders. This contributes to diversity and networking within the European education area and opens new international career pathways for professionals. The interactive and collaborative use of virtual learning environments and training modules also strengthens European cooperation and supports a modern, digitally connected internal market.
