about
LARP could be compared to a theatre play without audience and fixed script. Participants receive a pre-written character or make one up through a series of workshops. Joint imagination invigorate the plot created by game master. For several minutes, hours or days players try on a new role, explore their attitude to given situation or environment.
Unlike other medias, LARPs engage all of senses, mind, emotions and body.
After the game players go through reflection to integrate acquired experience.
Issues to consider
How can you use LARPs in your work with individuals struggling with barriers on physical, mental, educational, social, economical or geographical level? How can we overcome language and cultural barriers with LARPs to promote intercultural understanding?
How can we design a “barrier-free” LARP for your chosen target group?
How LARPs promote ecological and stay green at the same time?
Which environments could benefit from LARPs promoting civic engagement and democratic values?
Can LARPs enhance digital interaction with your target group?
We’re inviting you to join our training and find the answers together.

Here is the list with answers to the most popular questions about us and what we do
Most of the international youth exchanges are targeted at young people between the ages of 12 and 30. However, more and more opportunities for children are developed with each year. International youth exchanges are basically aimed at all adolescents and young adults. The youth exchanges organised by CHANCE International are usually targeting young people from 18 to 26 (in some cases up to 30) and funded within the Erasmus + programme.
We distinguish between participant contribution and total costs. The participant contribution is 50 Euro at max, depending on the project. During 2021 there is no participation fee. If the contribution is too high, we will always find a way for you to participate in an encounter. Please contact us!
A youth exchange is financed by the organiser’s own funds, third-party funds and the participant’s contribution. Third-party funds are provided by the Federal Government from the Child and Youth Plan and European funds from the Erasmus+ youth programme. Third-party funds are applied for by the organiser or sponsor.
