Having as an aim to transmit useful skills through group activities and games, non-formal learning usually takes place outside the school environment. It is a process which helps individuals learn new things and at the same time explore themselves, reinforce their communication skills and their ability to receive feedback – however, it takes time and devotion to be completed.

In case you are an educator and you want your lesson to be interactive and innovative, if you aim to boost students’ critical thinking, to contribute to making school a space for free expression and to actively participate in programs such as Thematic Week, then you are going to need the right tools. You will have to be able to design and implement original educational activities and to adapt your lesson to the learners’ needs. Non-formal learning helps you fulfill all the above.
