Protecting Our Territory and Environment (Vertical Video)
Bishu Cine is a non-profit cultural association that uses film, audiovisual media, the arts, and new information and communication technologies as tools for social change. Together with the Great Ingenious Readers Club of Carabayllo (located on the outskirts of Lima, Peru), Bishu Cine created the participatory exhibition "Protecting Our Territory and Environment," which gave twenty young people their first virtual reality experience. Bishu Cine began by adapting the interests of the club's members to a story based on everyday spaces, such as their soccer field and the Bed of Clouds in the Spring Hills, to strengthen their sense of belonging and care for their surroundings. It then helped them film scenes with a specialized camera to capture 360-degree landscapes and coded these materials so they could explore them with virtual reality headsets. The experience strengthened the young people's sense of belonging and care for their surroundings and emphasized the importance of preserving environmental memory through their own realities.

Protegiendo Nuestro Territorio y Medio Ambiente
Bishu Cine es una asociación cultural sin fines de lucro que utiliza al cine, los medios audiovisuales, las artes y las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación como herramientas de cambio social. Junto al Club de Lectura Grandes Lectores Ingeniosos de Carabayllo, en las afueras de Lima, Peru, Bishu Cine realizó de forma participativa la muestra “Protegiendo nuestro territorio y medio ambiente.” Veinte niñas y niños vivieron aquí su primera experiencia con realidad virtual. Bishu Cine empezó adaptando los intereses de los niños y niñas del club en una historia basada en espacios cotidianos tanto como su canchita de fútbol y el Colchon de Nubes en las Lomas de Primavera para fortalecer su sentido de pertenencia y el cuidado de su entorno. Luego les ayudó a filmar escenas con una cámara especializada para capturar paisajes en 360 grados y codificó estos materiales para que pudieran explorarlos con visores de realidad virtual. La experiencia fortaleció el sentido de pertenencia y cuidado de los jóvenes hacia su entorno y enfatizó la importancia de preservar la memoria ambiental a través de sus propias realidades.
