"An exemplary volume that delivers what many profess but few practice: a truly international account of the reach and depth of learning beyond formal schooling. The richly textured, up-to-date studies showcase the necessity to take learners’ perspectives, rather than institutional or policy perspectives, when shaping feasible educational futures. A must-read for policy-makers and practitioners alike."Kirsten Drotner, co-editor of Informal Learning and Digital Media.
