3 princes. all move home dream of leaving the arab world. to rival princes of gold starts november 27th on d w. i had a really hard time in school. emma norris is dyslexic and was always an outsider at school. but that's all supposed to change now that she's attending the 1st to school of f. to school in holborow denmark. each week the new role play is part of the curriculum every few people takes part and it's incorporated into every subject the school's concept no student gets left behind.

now that i can we have some food oh sure serve the baroness 1st. the school's 85 pupils and their teachers stay in the game they remain in character even while eating lunch their current role play is called the testament and english teacher plays the pastor has his punishment is a pardon a man. why all this. woman was hatched 3 children and she is invited to this old family party but the family does not know why they are invited they don't know and by. the elderly baroness westfield also played by a teacher has invited her relatives to visit her one last time. emma norris has

only been going to the mr sculp school for a few weeks. beginning the 8th grade the danish school system allows pupils to attend independent boarding schools for up to 3 years. many of these schools have a special focus. now again i want to tell you why we're all here today the only. one and now. and now. the school employs live action role play as a way to teach the curriculum it calls this mix of acting theatre and interaction learning games. this role play covers the legal aspects of a will come plex family constellations and the highs and lows of human life. then emma goes to a relatively ordinary class still the role play continues. i need someone from the

school life that really benefits from having something that is much more direct and much more like tangible tangible form doesn't mean you can't teach really complex matters it just means that you have to you have to wrap it in a way where the nearness makes sense in its own right learning that makes sense in a wants to sing its praises for the 1st time she's made friends your own age they've just taught her to play the piano. and. oh.

right this pressure you also says something about would play and how you just for a moment escape from reality and take some time for yourself and i think that's maybe why i could make so much of this so ima has regularly taken part in live roleplay events for the last 8 years. the 17 year old spends her allowance on costumes for her slipping into another persona is a release. i felt like i wasn't allowed to cry. therefore i just. had all these feelings inside but then i got through role play and i put on a fine a cool dress and i do some wore makeup or something and then i play at this

girl who has lost her mother and then i was allowed to cry because it was a role play. one week later the entire school has traveled to germany for a field trip to vin destroy the castle interior and. on the right into helps her fellow pupils put on make up for an elaborately staged role play though there's no audience. for you. like. what you might as well use it as you do if you go overseas and. they have to by doing. all this helps new pupils like emma better integrated into the school community says teacher in game master morton care gore. is going to get sandy inside of hollow here don't feel for induction work spending about the
