Description
In October 2008 some 40 people gathered in the Kamensky forest outside Minsk, Belarus, to arrange and participate in the larp "1943". This larp was the product of one and a half year of work, which started at Knudepunkt 2007, "How can larp change the world?" This lecture will be a presentation of this work. For those of you who have read the Knutepunkt article "Larp in Kamensky forest" this will be the opportunity to hear the Belarusian verison of the story.
