Description

With rising global and domestic environmental and social challenges, integrating traditional cultural knowledge with immersive education technologies offers a path to sustainability. This chapter explores how Indigenous and local knowledge systems can merge with Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to foster deeper understanding and promote sustainable behaviors. It highlights traditional ecological practices in agriculture, water use, marine management, and architecture as models of sustainable living, emphasizing the ethical role of Indigenous education. The chapter also examines how immersive technologies enhance experiential learning, gamification, and cultural knowledge sharing, while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It envisions a future where educational systems use immersive tools to cultivate environmentally responsible, empathetic, and globally conscious citizens. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
