Abstract
Formal and non-formal education is well established and recognised
in our society. However, unbeknown to those who engage in it,
informal learning occurs more frequently than these forms of
education. Those who engage with others in their informal learning
have the potential for personal fulfilment and community well-being.
Who is involved? What does it look like? How does it happen? What
is the relationship between the teacher and learner, and what use is
it anyway? This paper addresses the position of informal learning in
the scheme of lifelong learning and documents a research study that
sought to produce some answers when 'informal teachers' of a rural
community were investigated.
