EduLARP

EduLARP is a unique training course for youth workers that combines specific creative uses of eduLARP (improvisational role-playing technique combining the training of social and personal skills with the exploration of various themes) for working with young people and with practical capacitation of new strategies to be used in queer youth work.

The aim of the training course is to give participants space to explore and experience eduLARP - combination of game, non-formal education, simulation and improvised theater - and its tools in order to apply them in their own context and support their target groups. 

Both training course will include thematic blocks on eduLARP methodology and creation, team building, and various reflection and evaluation activities.

Youth workers will be introduced to the theoretical concept of games, LARPS, eduLARPs and alternate reality games (ARGs), as well as the didactic potential of eduLARP.

Through playing games and activities, young people will get involved with the subject matter in a fun and engaging way. By enacting different scenes , they can learn about any subject through their own experience. Moreover, by taking on different roles, they also learn about different cultures, systems of beliefs, set of rules and simply various social and cultural contexts (including situation of maginalized groups such LGBT+) that enable them to put themselves in other people’s shoes.
