The event

When role-playing enters the classroom

Can Dungeons & Dragons become a tool for learning, inclusion and cooperation? The event begins with concrete experiences developed in schools and teacher training to show how role-playing can activate storytelling, problem-solving, listening, collaboration and the ability to take different points of view.

The point is not to “use D&D to teach a lesson” artificially, but to understand what happens when a group enters a narrative situation, makes decisions, faces their consequences and builds a story together.

The event presents the Dadi, Maghi e Draghi project, born from Kristian Sensini’s experience as a teacher, author and trainer and from work with students, teachers, educators and families.

More than a talk

Demo sessions for teachers, parents and educators

In addition to Friday’s talk, the project will be present in the Demo Area with short play experiences for those who want a practical introduction to the method: Friday afternoon and during Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1.

The demos are designed as 30–45 minute micro-experiences: no knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons or previous role-playing experience is required.
