EYE project – Outline of the LARP in Pordenone
The EYE event in Pordenone will hold the first LARP of a series of 5 in which young people get to play with European concepts, mechanisms and citizenship in order to discuss the future of Europe. In being the first event, the LARP will need to:
1-introduce players to the LARP methodology, since a part of them will play more than one LARP in the EYE project
2-use European mechanisms in order to familiarize the players with them
3-allow for discussion, in line with the EYE project goals
4-touch country-specific topics in relation to European community, in this case Italian-related topics
To fulfill these requirements, the LARP has been designed to mix historical events with modern mechanisms, in the meanwhile complying with the introductory requirement and giving ample opportunities for discussion.
The historical event that inspired the LARP is the Ventotene Manifesto, written by Altiero Spinelli while imprisoned on the Ventotene island during World War II. The manifesto called for changes in the Europe’s countries political systems and presented a European Federalism that was later considered to be of foundation of the current EU community. The manifesto was disseminated thanks to a number of women who secretly brought it to key persons who opposed the far-right regimes.
