GOALS
– Discover 1-day easy-to-run EDU-LARP scenarios
– Learn how to organize and facilitate LARP games in a complex way by yourself
– Experience 5 LARP games during the Training
LOCAL LARPS
The participants from each country must organize 1 LARP event in their country within 4 months after the Training.
We will assist and support you online with this task. This time, there is no budget provided for this from the project, so you’re encouraged to look for economical yet impactful games.
If you have already been to one of the ALCHEMIES, you can also join: the theory part will be repeated, but all LARP games will be new (and this time they will be fully EDU-LARP scenarios).
There will also be an ADVANCED DESIGN TRAINING organized in Poland around OCTOBER 2024.
