Statistics
- 2012: 40 participants, 13 speakers & 6 organizers from 12 countries
- 2013: 40 participants, 12 alumni for the Larporatory, 18 speakers & 9 organizers from 13 countries
- 2014: 43 participants, 17 alumni, 17 speakers & 7 organizers from 15 countries
Summary
During the week, we will provide a framework and a toolbox for creating larps. While the goal of the summer school is to encourage pedagogical larps, our understanding of that term is very wide. We believe that the tools that create good larps can be applied broadly, and our toolbox will be useful for the designer of any larp that aims to tell a story. [1]
Program
General structure
The program was structured in three levels, The what, The why and The how.[2]
| Level | What | Type of programme | Goal |

| Level 2 | The why | The Mixing Desk of Larp | Understanding why and when to design larps differently |
| Level 3 | The how | Workshops & talks | Learn the tools and methods to change the parameters of a larp to achieve what you want |
Speakers
The organizers have selected a big variety of speakers to create the program from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Czech Republic. They have held talks, larp presentations, workshops and larps.
The Mixing Desk of Larp
The underlining theme of the program was The Mixing Desk of Larp. For each presented fader there was a fader talk held by and expert to give and introduction to that specific element of larp design. This was also played out in a small scene game called The family dinner, a game played several times during the week where the organizers added different faders so that the participants got a hands on understanding of the different elements.
