Who manages the site?
In the Association of Non-Formal Education (ANEV, Czech Republic), we support youth workers to ensure that their learning activities have the greatest impact on the development of young people’s competences.
We strive to see education in a broader context than just from a school perspective. For us, non-formal education is a means to change the way we look at education and learning. At the same time, we find it an effective tool to stimulate personal development. For us, nonformal learning means learning voluntarily, intentionally and from experience.
Our partners have also contributed to the content of this website:
