Reflections of practitioners: Students participating in school LARPs in 1999–2017 and their transformations in socio-cultural context

Summary/Abstract: The article is an outcome of the analysis of student transformations observed in the participants of 27 live-action role-plays which took place in the years 1999–2017 in a high school in Łochów (Poland). Seven ar-eas of observations of the transformations have been identified: 1) the difficulty of introducing the LARP technique at school; 2) the attractiveness of voluntary participation; 3) incidents of hate speech; 4) playing for the pleasure of participation and playing for a measurable outcome/mission accomplishment; 5) student attitudes to historical realities and fantasy conventions; 6) type of engagement: focus on private history and participation in major social events; 7) student attitudes: commitment on the side of evil and on the side of good; selecting moral and immoral methods to achieve goals. The authors attempted to hypothesize about the possible reasons for the transformations (or their lack) and draw conclusions.
