on t.w. . with different languages we fight with different things that's fine let me all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w. made for mines. i had a really hard time school. emma nourse 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 after school in holborow denmark. each week a new role play is part of the curriculum every pupil takes part and it's

incorporated into every subject the school's concept no student gets left behind. so that it can 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 amen. that's why all this. woman was hatched 3 children and she is invited to this whole family party but the family must not know why they are invited they don't know anybody. 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 school for a few weeks. beginning in the 8th grade the danish school system allows people to attend independent boarding schools for up to 3 years. many of these schools have a special focus. on. how to have 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 theater 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 other family it's time and again pupils are taken out of class to participate in the schools and it has her english lessons not an easy subject for someone with dyslexia far. from this and her previous school emma struggled and felt she was left to cope on her own. her self-esteem suffered a major blow. over i was very very shy and i didn't want to speak up for myself i. didn't have any friends and i was on shore if i was good enough if i was spreading. if i was clever enough to be in a school. at the end of the lesson someone slips them

a mysterious document. this is the document which might tell us why we're here so we're trying to figure out what it means. has the parents being questioned on suspicion of murder. like emma many of the easter school of pupils felt like outsiders at their former schools were. frankly asked oh yes yes. some students have a learning disability a.d.h. do your autism spectrum disorder others are gifted and many have experienced bullying. but employing role play in regular lessons helps all pupils says teacher andreas miller. everything we do is to move with the students to want to learn something and they're not learning something because they have to go to an exam or because mother or father or the society says so they're learning it because they want to learn and we may represent games or in funny hats or whatever but they're

usually very motivated and there are certain types of students who just don't fit in to modern school life that really benefits from having something that is much more direct and much more like tangible tangible form and doesn't mean you can't teach merely 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 special you also says something about 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 to roleplay and i put on a final dress and i just saw war make all boys something and then i play it at this girl who has lost her mother and then i was allowed to cry because it was role play. one week later the entire school has traveled to germany for a field trip to been destroyed by castle interior and. we don't know him it 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 well you visit if you go overseas and you go. there have to go out and i think. it will this helps new pupils like emma better integrate into the school community says teacher in game master morton care gore. has to

study to get to sandy inside of hollow here don't feel production work standing right about the timing corp get over the special effects of your world health and was in a game. of hide and this is also very much a community community street to exercise a little skill we the people in the training school. emma puts on her costume then the role play the midnight conclave begins. it's the year 1532 inquisitors are executing supernatural beings. sorcerers bareness fun men chosen is gravely concerned indeed why we won't abandon our people and the magical world. together with vampires fairies source.

shearers and we're willems the baroness tries to find a solution. to her castle the aim to bring peace to the world but it's not easy as old feuds and animosities resurface emma plays the vampire elvira. this very old well me because she's only been around i around say one of the 3 kind of ramp hires and now there are 10 different kinds of magic species around her . this is just one of 70 different role plays that comprise the danish school's curriculum including math biology chemistry physics history geography and languages taught in an unconventional way and the school success speaks for itself 72 percent of pupils subsequently go on to upper secondary schools where they can take their school leaving exams that matches the danish average. the head of the vampires tries to hold emma's clan together

a few of them have gone rogue. he. made it through to also i think it's teach them. a way of. dealing with problems. that you know us would have. and this is just the kind of the ultimate says because it has to walk around to have to mingle you have to talk with a lot of different opinions and especially in role play all the the fronts and the opinions of every separators. the role players roam all around the castle they solve riddles find mysterious objects uncover intrigues have discussions and fight. 100 people are taking part pupils teachers even the building manager it's the 1st time for me that i feel comfortable in

a school system and with the teachers. also people that i don't really talk to. just come up to me and say oh it's a really nice costume i think you're just so sweet and helpful. and that's a very good feelings very well for meit is the obvious thing. in the evening the role play reaches its climax. the same venue. sacrifices herself in a ritual. she lets yourself be transformed into a human thereby saving the magical creatures and making the world a more peaceful place. now taking away your memories that was very intense. as she finds the end of the ritual quite moving. they could say something personal to us. and it was very very heartbreaking but in a good way in

a good way or. you were great thinks are you ok yeah i'm good. after just a few weeks at the school and already feels better equipped to deal with life. rather your own argos. is giving me what can i say and armor put on so i. i will be able to stand up for myself until tell people that if they don't like me it's not my problem. because i am me and they have to accept me and respect me as i am. so when she graduates emma plans to become a nursery school teacher she already knows she'll use role play as a pedagogical tool in her future profession. that relate to. the from the heart to the soccer mother.
