Beschreibung
This edited book addresses learning that takes place outside of formal education, embedded in everyday practices across the lifespan. Shedding light on practices that are often overlooked, the chapters explore how children, youth, adults and seniors engage in activities such as travelling, picture making, watching television, drifting, using museums and dealing with family life experiences. The authors approach learning as social, collaborative and interactional, offering rich and detailed examples from Scandinavia. The book contributes to a sophisticated understanding of the conditions, potentials and challenges of learning. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book will appeal to scholars and students of lifelong learning, adult education, childhood and youth studies and public pedagogy, as well as the more general fields of sociology, pedagogy and cultural studies.
