Objective
Online social media is not living up to its promise to offer alternative arenas promoting civic deliberation among people with diverse opinions. In the wake of this perceived failure of the online environment, activists, educators and scholars alike have begun to turn to alternative forms of civic engagement, both online, offline and mixed. Larp, live role playing, is one such form. Larps create cultural, artistic spaces offering great potential for alternative engagement with politics. Furthermore, Larps are not restricted to physical space. Rather, larp exemplify how social spaces can be deliberately and collaboratively designed to be conductive of inclusivity and democratic engagement. Studying larp, enhancing their capacity of supporting democratic engagement and political expression, and learning from them to inspire the deliberate design of social media and other spaces for political expression, thus directly answers to the call topic and opens unique opportunities for the design of future spaces for democratic deliberation, including future social media.
The project will produce:
- Studies and experiments chartering capacities of larp in supporting democratic engagement and fostering democratic skill-building
- Public events in collaboration with designers and organisers from marginalised and vulnerable communities
- Design exemplars of larp and larp spaces capable of supporting inclusivity and democratic engagement.
- Evidence-based Democracy by Design Toolkit
- A widespread community of Experts understanding the capacities of larp and larp-like spaces in fostering democratic engagement.
- Evidence-based Policy Recommendations supporting policy-makers in multiple domains
