Here's what we're going to do
You put yourself in the shoes of a student at the beginning of his studies. With your fellow students, you go through several stages of a society that is changing because of a fictional technology. How do you think about it at the beginning? And how do you think about it 20 years later, having seen the effects?
It is a fine way to start a nuanced discussion.
Developed in cooperation with Saxion University of Applied Sciences for technology students.
Why it works
Learning by stepping into someone else’s shoes. Through this method, you challenge assumptions. For example, tech-optimism; the idea that technology solves all problems.
You experience the effect of new behavior. You embody the learning, not just understand it. And you feel the consequences in yourself and see them in another person. It can be played in small (starting from 3) and large (up to 50+) groups and lasts 3-4 hours. Everyone is actively participating at the same time. This makes it safe and fun.
For anyone interested in learning more about ethics & technology.
Experiences
For me, working with Live Action Learning was both inspiring and enriching. Through their professionalism, creativity, and practical approach, we ultimately designed a product (eduLARP) that aligns perfectly with the intended goals, is widely applicable, and provides an unforgettable experience for the participants.
