Not all work involving young people is youth work per se – e.g. police arresting a young person. ‘Voluntary participation requires that young people must have genuine freedom to opt in or opt out.’

Voluntary participation is not activated by inviting young people to a free concert whilst failing to mention that the gig is sponsored by the church and will include a presentation about the Christian faith.’

Informal education, we argue, is driven by conversation and being with others. It develops through spending time with people – sharing in their lives – and listening and talking.

‘Going with the flow’ opens up all sorts of possibilities for us as educators. On one hand we may not be prepared for what comes, on the other we may get into rewarding areas.

Such conversations and activities can take place anywhere and at any time. This contrasts with formal education which tends to take place in special settings such as schools.

Formal education: the hierarchically structured, chronologically graded ‘education system’, running from primary school through the university and including, in addition to general academic studies, a variety of specialised programmes and institutions for full-time technical and professional training.

Informal education: the truly lifelong process whereby every individual acquires attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience and the educative influences and resources in his or her environment – from family and neighbours, from work and play, from the market place, the library and the mass media.

Non-formal education: any organised educational activity outside the established formal system – whether operating separately or as an important feature of some broader activity – that is intended to serve identifiable learning clienteles and learning objectives.

… informal education creates an environment where dialogue, conversation and action can be carried out honestly in an atmosphere of equality. It has the ability to support, challenge and affirm young people and to ‘create possibilities of transformation’.
