Play-based training: The why and how? Webcast with JP

It’s always a pleasure to get JP onto the webcast. This time we talk about the true power of play.

Here’s what we asked JP:

So you’ve just recorded a course for us on play-based training – why did you feel compelled to create it?
In the course you cover a lot of scientific background as well as giving 50 great playful examples of play in action – can you give us a couple of nuggets here?
⁠ ⁠You have created a play profiling sequence for people in the course – why is this necessary? Don’t we just play the games?
There are 6 practical sections in the course aimed at different populations… why?
What are your thoughts on using play in our industry generally – are there better environments than others?
