LARPing in Denmark for the World Service
7digital’s new BBC documentary asks: can Live Action Role Play help neurodiverse school pupils around the world?
Neurodivergent students learn, think, and process information differently than their neurotypical peers. The Østerskov Efterskole school in Denmark has been using ‘LARP’ role-play games as an immersive teaching aid.
Presenter Sarah Lynne Bowman and producer Richard Power investigated this innovation for The Documentary slot on the BBC World Service, a network that reaches more than 360 million people globally.
