I was really excited to hear about the US Dpt of Justice's use of LARPs / simulations to build empathy for people reentering society after incarceration: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/11/1186916648/a-reentry-simulation-program-shows-reality-of-life-after-prison

My workplace hosted simulations to build empathy for low income families trying to make ends meet.

As #TTRPG designers we know how to conjure immersive environments for our players. Is there a bridge between our craft and these real-world interventions?
