Informal education refers to learning that occurs outside of traditional educational institutions such as schools and universities. This type of education is often experiential, hands-on, and self-directed, and can take place in a variety of settings such as museums, community centers, libraries, and online platforms. Informal education often focuses on practical skills, personal development, and lifelong learning, and can be tailored to individual interests and needs. It emphasizes the importance of learning through real-world experiences, interactions with others, and self-discovery.
