It is action that embodies certain qualities. These include a commitment to human well-being and the search for truth, and respect for others. In this way informal education is oriented to praxis. It is not a form of education that is only concerned with the deepening of understanding. The process looks to participants acting in ways that reflect a certain thoughtfulness and are uplifting.
Informal educators are fundamentally concerned with enhancing human flourishing.
The process of informal education At the centre of our work as informal educators is interaction or conversation - and in conversation everything is so unpredictable. Talk can lead anywhere. In this sense it is difficult to be specific about outcome or aim. Content certainly cannot be sequenced in any meaningful way beforehand. Informal education is not curriculum-based.
