What we do!

We advocate for applied role-playing games in classrooms and therapeutic settings.

Are you having trouble learning from traditional forms of education? Do you feel like you need something more fun and hands-on?    Located in Ottawa, Ont., Playstories Canada helps students of all ages receive therapeutically active-learning educational training through play using Tabletop, Live-Action Role Play (LARP), and Improv games. 
These games can be helpful for any subject you are struggling with.  We provide detailed instruction on what games are played, how to play the games correctly, and hands-on training on how you can run your own events.    Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, we will be engaging in active learning online. In any case, all of our games will be played in a group setting to encourage active-participation and creative play.

School

RPG School

This is the most exciting active learning initiative. Inspired by the Danish Østerskov Efterskole and Efterskolen Epos, two "larp schools" that ustilize applied role-playing games to ground student education as a total experiencial process. We are actively seeking partnerships to build and deliver this kind of learning environment in Canada. For 2020, we are excited to announce our RPG School will be running locally in Ottawa at a grassroots level! Look here and on social media for further details on how you can learn to play, run, and create in this powerful medium!!!
