Description:
Modern museum education has a focus on interactivity and visitor engagement. Edu-larp expands traditional teaching methods and facilitates the development of historical and cultural empathy.
This keynote will reflect on the experiences and challenges of designing edu-larps for a museal context, and how engagement in history learning and a personal connection to the past can be created.
