The mission of the Human Play Academy is to spread play in the world. One way in which we do this is through our online course and we would like as many people as possible to take this course so that we all can have a lot more play in our lives.

If you read this and ask yourself “why are they not giving away the course for free then?” we have written an answer for you here.

One reason that we are not doing this is that we want to make a living from spreading play in the world. Though there are business models where you offer your content for free, for example by having advertisements, doing affiliate marketing or by applying for funding from institutions, none of us like the idea of having commercials as part of our course (or our website). Also we don’t want to spend our time creating affiliate marketing strategies behind our play content or applying for grants from institutions in order to do what we want to do. What’s more, money from institutions often come with some strings attached to it and we would rather maintain our independence and spread play our way.

By having each individual pay for the course, we get a payment model that incentivises us to make the best possible play content for you and everyone else, free from hidden or open influence, and that’s the model we prefer right now. 

That said, if you want to take our course but cannot afford the full price, you’re welcome to send us an email at info@humanplayacademy.com and we can figure something out for you. We do not want lack of money to limit the spreading of play in the world so don’t hesitate to get in touch if money is an obstacle in any way.
