These notes comprise part of the introductory lectures on Higher Spin Theories presented at the Twelfth Modave Summer School in Mathematical Physics 2016, aimed at Ph.D. students and researchers new to this topic. The focus is on the conjectured interpretation of higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds as holographic duals to free Conformal Field Theories.
