The project

The Larpwriter Challenge is a collaboration project between several NGOs to

• Spread the use of live roleplaying games (larps) as an educational tool
• Evolve the knowledge about and use of larps in the Nordic countries
• Strengthen and evolve the civil society in Belarus through new methods of working

This will be done through two separate competitions in creating educational re-runnable larps and through seminars, conferences and trainings in creating and using larps as an educational tool.


Project activities

The Larpwriter Challenge june - august 2010

In the first part of the project, The Larpwriter Challenge will be promoted, participants will be recruited and a jury will be chosen. The delivery deadline for participating games will probably be September 30th. Read more about the Larpwriter Challenge on the rules-page.

Larp conference in Oslo november 2010

The larp conference will be held in Oslo 19th - 21st november. Here, the jury will come together to play the games and elect a winner, and other participants interested in larp as an educational tool can take part in a broad array of lectures, workshops and games as well as playing the contributions to the NLC.

Further activities will have to be planned after we´ve received replies on our funding applications.


These activities are planned, but rely upon external funding:

• Larp conference in Belarus, playing the games from the Larpwriter Challenge and lectures on educational larps
• The Belarusian Larpwriter Challenge
• Follow-up activities: Printing and distribution of games, evaluation etc.
