Description of event:
In this talk, Katrin Geneuss outlines several specific games her team runs in classrooms of all school types, from primary through upper secondary. Through evaluations and design based research, they have deduced over a dozen best practice principles on safety, facilitation, reflection, etc. Since edu-larp is a specific modality that differs from other types of experiential learning, specific challenges need to be taken into consideration when applying this technique in formal curricular settings.
