Yes, I'm in. I like the idea of a fund for those who are active in the "worldwide community" but can't afford to pay. If you could arrange a fund to "distribute" to activists I would contribute to it. Won't it be informative if this were an international forum?
Forgive the "self-promotion" - I have a chapter on Play in my soon to be released book. Your writings and those of your colleagues at the "Journal of Play" informed that chapter.
Kia ora from NZ, I’m organising The Unschooling Summit with Esther Jones and I’m definitely keen on live conversations that you host! I attended one you ran on zoom a few months back and it was fascinating and insightful. I am currently a free subscriber and would upgrade to paid to be able to attend. I run an international online community of parents of neurodivergent kids and teens who are unschooling and I bet a number of them would be keen too.
Yes, I just became a Paid Subscriber because I know it would be fun to meet online, via Zoom, for a live discussion. Once a month with a different topic each month, ideally one that has generated considerable debate. This is wonder-full play. This is what I needed to upgrade to Paid. Thank you, Peter.
I think this would be incredibly valuable and would love to participate. I’m a great fan of your work and run a small independent school which is in many ways unformed by ideas in your books and articles. I have participated in some large online discussions and found them to be incredibly inspiring and helpful in creating connections that help further important work.
I would love to participate but I honesty can't afford basic living costs. I'm a high school teacher in Poland contributing to educational change by modelling solutions through my courses. Play is the central methodology of both my life and my educational practice.
I love this idea Peter. The one benefit from zoom and other sources like it we can easily meet remotely. I'm on the east coast, which I recall you and Lenore are as well. Keep the play going.
I’d be very happy to participate- I am keen to connect with you with regards to the Fit for Children’s Futures Global Conference and Showcase Tour of Atelier 21 Future School in West Sussex in the UK. How do I contact you regarding a speaker opportunity please Peter?
This is such a great idea. I’d love to participate. This way, people in the same area will possibly get to know each and maybe organize more talks and activities in person.
I would join. Background: secondary school, college, and adult (OLLI) philosophy teacher (recent courses include Proof and Persuasion: Adventures in Applied Logic; Only a Game?: An Inquiry into the Significance of Sports; Molecules, Memories, and Immortality: Refecting on the Enda of Life), a lifelong amateur athlete (7 sports), and coach (5 sports, currently college squash), a grandfather of a third grader, a dog lover, a partner in a marriage of 5 decades and counting...a lucky, but troubled person.

Yes, I am willing to participate. It would be great if these could be recorded so we could watch them later.

An article on play in my life and practice:

I would be willing to participate in these discussions as well. Very nice creation of community as well.

Thank you - loving your substack /)

I would be interested, and would pay to upgrade. I’d be coming from the perspective of summer camp experience

I would upgrade too, and potentially contribute to sponsoring someone who can't afford to buy wants to participate.
