Abstract: After a brief introduction to contemporary participatory design, this article looks at benefits of participatory design approaches when designing edu-larps. Potential advantages include the quality of the edu-larp, the empowerment of students and working towards societal transformation. Two examples for (edu-)larp design processes with participatory elements are
illustrated. Entry points for students in a participatory design process within the framework of transformative larp design are suggested, for example, during world-building or character design.
Keywords: participatory design, edu-larp, societal transformation, co-creation, diversity
