ABOUT US
VRefugees was created after numerous conversations with refugees who have made the journey from Syria to Europe. We aim to build empathy by having users experience the journey through the eyes of a refugee.
Over 1 million refugees entered the EU in 2015. Despite heartbreaking images across the web, there has been criticism and concern around countries accepting refugees. While the response is political, the core is humanitarian. VRefugees aims to build understanding and empathy around the refugees by allowing users to experience their journey to safety & peace. |
