💼 What the programme involves
Short term volunteering for fans of history, costumes and acting!
During the 2 weeks of the volunteering project we will prepare, organise and implement eduLARP event for the final point of the Old Rabka Charm Festival - annual local fest of Rabka-Zdrój town in Lesser Poland. What is eduLARP? Educational Live Action Role Playing game - a mixture of theatre (but with no audience and script), game (but what happens in the game is decided by players) and improvisation (but limited by a game mechanics). Intrigued?
The tasks of the volunteers will be to:
- contribute to the development of side plots of the LARP and designing quests
- prepare costumes and settings for the game
- work with LARP participants on their characters to prepare them for a first-time game
- during the LARP - serve as NPCs (Non Playable Characters) and help players to immerse in the game.
You will learn how to organise educational LARPs, develop narratives, design costumes and empowering activities for youth.
