If I were in your shoes. The transformational power of good practice educational LARPing

Description

Over the last few years Educational LARPing (LARP=Life Action Role Play) and simulation approaches increasingly grab more attention in the non-formal and formal education field. The approaches proofed to be effective and esp. productive in educational topics that need empathy, awareness and self-reflection. The educational LARP method incorporates some techniques of education through art-methods like the role-play, the improvisation theatre and theatre of the oppressed as well. Many other educational approaches that aim to tackle stereotypes, prejudice and bias are failing to reach their goals due to the lack of focus raising empathy and self-reflection capabilities of their learners. Mainly because the pedagogy against populist, racist and antidemocratic attitudes and behaviour need to interact with their learners on a personal level and cannot just focus on knowledge transfer and cognitive procedures. LARP has proven that its merits consist especially on the emotional and self-reflective capacities of the method.In this strategic partnership project we are involving five partners form four different European countries that are working with this methods for a good practice exchange. Five partner-meetings and three joint staff trainings will set up an extensive opportunity for the staff of the organisations.Though EduLARP is considerably a new method for many educational institutions and therefore extensive exchange and sharing experiences and best practices are still needed. There is a strong need to exchange experience and learn from each other concerning digital formats of the art- and cultural related educational approaches. This project aims to create a space for knowledge transfer, to experience digital formats and their didactic techniques and to exchange ideas for the digitalisation of methods as well as new development. The primary target group for the project are the staff members of our organisations that are working with experience-based cultural and art related learning approaches, especially LARP and simulation.During the project we will especially focus on the topics inclusion-exclusion, diversity and discrimination that are especially addressable by experience-based learning approaches. Many educational institutions - esp. in the non-formal field - are aware of this advantage and consider this approaches as a chance in the actual social and political situation in a lot of European societies. Polarized and stereotyped society discourses forced by populist political movements and the natural defence-psychology of people against accusations making authentic experience necessary. EduLARPs can be used to work on this topics and they have the advantage that they can be used with target groups of all sectors and milieus and they can be applied in digital and non-digital formats.
