Training Course
19-28 October 2024 | Balestrand, Norway
A LARP is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically portray their characters. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules or determined by consensus among players. LARPs range in size from small private events lasting a few hours to large public events with thousands of players lasting for days. LARP is rooted in childhood games of make-believe, play fighting, costume parties, role-play simulations, improvisational theatre, military simulations and historical re-enactment events.
In the context of this project, we will explore and focus predominantly on LARPs that can be easily adjusted to the youth work field. This means LARPS that are easy to organise with young people, for beginners (in LARP and/or theatre in general), with little to no budget and in flexible locations.

The course is strongly based on experiential learning principles and philosophy, with adequate time allocated for debriefing and reflection throughout the whole program. The working methods used are chosen to offer the possibility of equal involvement of each participant, every person being stimulated to be engaged actively in the process. The training activities are flexible and adaptable to group needs taking into account the reactions of participants, their feedback, their expressed needs, their experience and the way they will work as a group.
The learning process will be guided and facilitated by an experienced team. This team is currently involved in a 3 years project aiming at fostering emotional well-being among young people at risk of social exclusion using diverse methods (including LARP)
