This year, some 3,800 Japanese students did not partake in the traditional back-to-school ceremony in real life, instead experiencing the event for the first time in the metaverse.

In fact, it was not them, but their avatars who showed up to meet school principals, student representatives and future classmates, during a virtual ceremony streamed live on YouTube.

Millions of schoolchildren and students have returned to school in Japan, where the start of the school year is marked by an official ceremony, held in April – a sacred tradition that has this year been disrupted, once again, by the pandemic. But a group of vocational schools chose to tackle the problem head on, and replace the IRL event with one in the metaverse.
