Definition: Non-formal learning

Category: Education

Learning that is not provided by an education or training institution and typically does not lead to certification. It is, however, structured (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support). Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s perspective. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/coded_files/Lifelong_learning_reality_EN.pdf
