Why Educational Larp Festival?
We believe that Larp is an exceptional educational tool. When you play a larp you live in a new experience and you enter a dialogue with your character and other player’s characters. Edu Larps, workshops, talks and social events will be run at the holy city of larp by both Palestinians and Internationals Larp experts. We wish that this event will promote the use of Edu Larps in educational institutions in Palestine.

How we will do it?
Bait Byout Educational Larp festival will take place in three locations in Bethlehem:
1- Talitha Kumi guest house
People who sign up for the festival will stay at this Hotel. It is located 5 minutes by car from Bethlehem city center. The hotel has a very nice outdoor area. Some program items and most of the social events will take place at this location. Please check it here: http://www.talithakumi.org/en/guesthouse/

2- Edu Larps at a University
On Friday the 17th of November, we will be hosted at a University in Bethlehem. Both students and educators from the university will participate in our program. The program will include talks, workshops and Larps.

3- Kids Edu-Larps at Schools
On Saturday the 18th of November, we are planning to organise educational Larps for children at local schools in Bethlehem. If you want to run a larp for the kids or you want to be an NPC we will help you to do that.
