We often find that informal and social learning are grouped together. Sure there are some overlaps between the two, but they are not necessarily one and the same. In this presentation we talk about the nuances and differences and how these are applicable in our work at the foundation.

Editor's Notes

- Anything not formal? How does social learning look within this? Informal learning Informal learning is, by default, any learning that is not formal learning or non-formal learning. Informal learning is organized differently than formal and non-formal learning because it has no set objective in terms of learning outcomes and is never intentional from the learner’s standpoint. Often it is referred to as learning by experience or just as experience. Informal learning is like riding a bicycle: the rider chooses the destination and the route. The cyclist can take a detour at a moment’s notice to admire the scenery or help a fellow rider. This is in contrast to formal learning, which is like riding a bus: the driver decides where the bus is going; the passengers are along for the ride. People new to the territory often ride the bus before hopping on the bike.
