LARxPerience - larps as educational method

Training Course

14-19 August 2020 | Trstená, Slovak Republic

Participants will understand what larp is, they will experience larps as participants and as facilitators, they will understand how to use larps, how to introduce and facilitate them so the game meets the learning objectives.

LarXperience is transnational strategic partnership project. Main objective of this project is to form attitudes of young people, especially in the field of tolerance to differences and in the decision making on important issues of their lives and bearing consequences for these decisions,  using larps as educational method.

Larp is a specific type of role-based game. Larp allows participants to experience deep emotions and to open up a variety of themes and to perceive them from safety of their role from which they came out at the end of the game. Due to the time limit of the game, the actions are reflected immediately and there is a clear link between them. This leads to awareness of the consequences and confrontation, how participants experience similar situations in their personal life. There is no scenario of the game, the result of the game is up to participants.

We would like to introduce this educational method to you. If you are a teacher or a youthworker, we would like to offer you participation in this training course.

The objective of the training is to enable participants to understand what larp is, enable them to experience larp from the point of view of participants but also from the point of view of facilitators, make them understand how to use larps, how to introduce and facilitate them and how to lead reflexion at the end so the game would meet its learning objectives. 

At the end of the training participants will have access to 8 larps designed in the frame of this project, and they will be required to test them with their target group and send us feedback. This will help us verify the impact of larps on forming attitudes of young people.
