Education as Anti-Structure: Non-Formal Education in Social and Ethnic Movements

The case studies reviewed in this article indicate how a variety of Scandinavian and North American social and ethnic movements have sought to use residential folk-education for young adults in behavioural and social-change efforts [2]. We should first note the neglect of this movement education as an educational phenomenon and, accordingly, the absence of analysis as to its significance. In this review of findings, we will make a first step in addressing this lacuna.
