Perspectives on the Global Folk High School Movement and People's Future Lab
Description
Can research identify common characteristics in educational movements inspired by N.F.S. Grundtvig? This anthology presents sixteen articles exploring the diverse learning communities connected to the 2019 International Folk High School Summit in Copenhagen and the subsequent cooperation project People's Future Lab. Drawing on empirical studies of institutions linked to the Grundtvigian heritage, the authors examine shared traits and compare them with global civic education currents represented by Paulo Freire and Rabindranath Tagore.
Initiated and edited by the Global Network for Folk high school Research, the book features the network's projects and those of invited contributors.
