Objectives

Use our competences to create better activities within our organizations. Support a young emerging NGO (Slovenian partner). Introduced another level of Live action role playing games into the Slovenian scene! We felt we needed to create more leaders/facilitators focused on the edu-larp methods Formalize / organize the activity of educational larping better. Increase the quality of experience and educational values of edu-larping. Create material/content that could spread the edu-larp method. Create a stronger bond between us partners. Brought in more junior leaders into senior roles. Found more suitable partners in Europe. We created unexpectedly many synergy effects with other projects. Collaborated with many other similar projects. Created a community feeling around a shared project - a set up that is sustainable and will organically grow and keep going over the years. Had more dissemination than expected. All partners felt this was one of (or the) best KA2´s they have been part of.

Background

A series of youth exchanges dating back to 2016 has emerged to be the most popular activity among the coordinators network of youth. An educational live action role playing game. Ever growing in quality. Interacting with the local community. Through these Youth exchanges we worked with some informal youth groups, one of them (Slovenia) has with our support emerged into an official NGO with many activities and new members. They are part of this KA2 together with one of our best and likeminded partners (Nausika). This Polish partner has developed a lot during the last years and focused on storytelling, educational board games, and Larp as non formal education tools. All the factors above made us want to create a project that would take the original youth exchange activity (edu-larp) to a higher level and also spread it. There was a demand from the participants. Their evaluation showed us that we had to consolidate and evaluate and move creatively forward. But where? What was needed to improve quality and maybe also expand in numbers? What was the needs? We felt we needed to create more leaders/facilitators. Formalize / organize the activity better. Create material/content that could spread the edu-larp method.
