3. Learning is inevitable and
happens all the time.
Knowledge can be acquired and
skill-sets can be developed
anywhere.
‘Schooling’ is only one type of
education, which takes place in
formal education contexts such
as schools, colleges,
universities and other settings.
There are many other
opportunities to further our
knowledge and develop the
skills we all need throughout
life.
Activities performed in leisure
time can contribute to self-
development and to discover
what we really are good at and
love.
Through leisure time activities
children and adults can acquire
a diverse set of knowledge,
attitudes, skills and
competences along their life-
long learning experiences.

4. Learning in leisure time can enhance
our understanding of the world
around us, provide us with more and
better opportunities to develop as
human beings and improve our
quality of life.
Learning during leisure time is usually
associated with motivation and a
feeling of discovery and empowering
as well as with positive feelings, thus
contributing to a positive
coexistence in the family, in the
school and in other social settings.
Screens, technologies and social
networking are a natural part of our
children’s lives that parents should
be aware of, become familiar with
and act about responsibly.
Parents can stimulate their children
to be involved in mind and personal
development activities in their
leisure time.
Family decision-making on leisure
time activities should be taken into
account considering both parents'
interests and those of their children.

5. Research shows that when leisure
activities (such as playing, reading,
singing, computer use, etc.) are
performed appropriately are positively
linked to children’s achievement
