Local officials and Round Midnight started with a virtual reality training pilot across 31 schools. The VR program placed 1,395 students into a simulated situation with multiple potential outcomes. Participants discussed the roots of violent behavior and smart decision-making over a 12-week curriculum. Virtual_Decisions was expanded to all schools with Year 5 through 8 students as Greater Manchester seeks reductions in youth violence.
