Day 4 of our immersive training journey in Athens brought participants face-to-face with the concept of the circular economy, exploring how 360-degree video can shine a light on sustainability practices and environmental responsibility. Today’s sessions focused on capturing real-world examples of resource management and waste reduction, turning complex sustainability topics into engaging, interactive visual content.
The day began with an introductory session on the circular economy, where instructors discussed the core principles of sustainable resource use, waste minimization, and recycling. Participants considered how 360-degree video can make these concepts more tangible for students, giving them a visual understanding of how sustainability is practiced in different environments. Equipped with this background, participants brainstormed ideas for filming sites that embody circular economy practices, from community gardens and recycling centers to eco-conscious businesses.
By late morning, teams ventured out to capture footage around Athens at locations such as local recycling facilities, urban gardens, and eco-friendly marketplaces. Each site presented unique storytelling opportunities, from observing waste sorting processes to highlighting renewable resource practices. Participants experimented with close-ups and wide angles to create an immersive experience, aiming to capture the full cycle of sustainable practices and demonstrate how each component connects within the broader circular economy.
In the afternoon, teams returned to the training center for a self-reflection and group feedback session. Here, they reviewed their footage and discussed the creative and technical choices made during filming, exploring how elements like motion and perspective can impact viewers’ understanding of sustainable practices. This session encouraged participants to refine their approach, considering ways to make these topics even more engaging and educational.
The day concluded with a demonstration of advanced editing techniques to highlight sustainability themes, including adding text overlays, annotations, and guided navigation within the video. Instructors demonstrated how to use visual cues to emphasize key points and guide viewers through the stages of sustainable practices, making the content both informative and engaging.
Day 4 inspired participants to think critically about how immersive media can influence understanding and promote environmental awareness. Tomorrow, they’ll shift focus to the theme of civic participation and diversity, discovering how 360-degree video can capture and celebrate community values and multicultural perspectives. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the endless possibilities of immersive educational content!
