More About Enhance
About the project
How can we create learning spaces where empathy is not only discussed, but truly felt?
“Enhance Empathy and Understanding towards LGBTQIA+ Communities through Larp” (2023-1-IT02-KA210-ADU-000157368) is a small-scale strategic partnership project in the field of adult education that uses larp to uncover and transmit the emotional, social and historical dimensions of queer communities, promoting empathy, inclusion and participation through embodied experiences.
The approach
The project was implemented through a combination of international learning activities, local experimentation and collaborative development of educational resources. The partnership organised two peer training activities, hosted in Kraków and Palermo, where educators, facilitators and community organisers explored larp design methodologies, inclusive facilitation practices and approaches to working with sensitive social topics.
Partners also organised Local Labs within their communities, where participants experimented with storytelling and designed small larp scenarios connected to themes of identity, community and queer experiences. Throughout the project, partners collaborated on the development of a methodological toolkit documenting the approaches tested during the activities.
“Developing Empathy Through larp” Toolkit
Developed together by educators, larp designers and queer activists, the toolkit grows out of real exchanges, experiments and community needs. Rather than offering a single “right way” to design larps, it encourages you to start from the people you work with: their stories, their contexts, their realities.
Inside, you’ll find a mix of ideas and practical tools: from understanding LGBTQIA+ contexts and larp basics, to designing meaningful experiences, facilitating groups, and guiding reflection. There are also concrete structures to help you co-create scenarios and adapt them to your own setting.
Partners
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission through Erasmus+ INDIRE and implemented by Chaos League (Italy), Arcigay Palermo (Italy), Nausika Foundation (Poland) and LajvVerkstaden (Sweden):
