The LARPIC Italian Multiplier Event, organized by CEIPES ETS in Palermo, Italy, was held at the CEIPES office in Via Francesco Maria Alias 20. This engaging event brought together teachers, educators, students, and youth workers from local schools and the University of Palermo’s faculty of education, offering them a unique opportunity to explore and experience LARPIC’s innovative approach to youth engagement and citizenship.

 

CEIPES welcomed participants in their pocket cine theater, where they introduced the organization’s goals, highlighted the Erasmus program, and presented the LARPIC project in depth. Attendees gained insights into LARPIC’s objectives, partnership network, and its achievements. The event included interactive sessions where participants could experience the LARP methodology—an innovative approach in non-formal education—demonstrating its effectiveness in fostering active citizenship.

 

To reinforce the message, CEIPES projected promotional videos on both LARPIC and non-formal education practices, emphasizing the methodology’s impact. As the partnership’s Dissemination Leader, CEIPES provided branded gadgets to participants, enhancing awareness and extending the project’s outreach.

 

The event concluded with a feedback session, where participants expressed high satisfaction with the experience. Educators noted the value of LARPIC’s resources for their teaching, while students shared enthusiasm for integrating LARP methodology into their classrooms.

 

Overall, the Italian Multiplier Event was a meaningful step in promoting LARPIC’s methodology, with participants eager to apply its principles to enhance youth engagement and education in their own communities.
