Larpocracy

This Horizon Europe-funded project explores developing spaces for deliberation and democratic skills through role-playing. Seven leading partners will use larp as a platform to create inclusive and democratic social spaces, both online and offline.
As Larpocracy progresses, we are examining and creating larps in all genres.
Political LARPs simulate diplomacy, governance, and protest.
They help us ask:
✔️ How do power structures work?
✔️ What does leadership feel like?
✔️ What’s the price of compromise?
