A European Demos? The Nordic Adult Education Tradition--Folkeoplysning--Faces a Challenge.
Korsgaard, Ove
Comparative Education, v38 n1 p7-16 Feb 2002
The Nordic tradition of folkeoplysning (Denmark, Norway) or folkbildning (Sweden) is a form of adult education--"people's enlightenment"--linked to the emergence of democracy. Differing social, political, and cultural emphases attached to "folk"/"people" in various European languages have implications for the role of folkeoplysning in the development of a European democracy and a European citizenry. (Contains 22 references.) (SV)
