Definition of Learning

The three aspects of learning are:

• Knowledge acquisition
• Participation
• Knowledge creationn

These three aspects are essential for the minor. However, learning is not only the acquisition and development of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. It is also the product of experience and the goal of education. Learning may be formal and informal.

Formal learning is learning that takes place within a teacher-student relationship, such as in a school system.

Non-formal learning is organized learning outside the formal learing system. For example: learning by coming together with people with similar interests and exchanging viewpoints, in clubs or in (international) youth organisations, workshops. Informal learning occurs through the experience of day-to-day situations.
