Informal Learning Groups
Overemphasis on formal education can overshadow more appropriate learning methods. This is especially true for adults with time and money constraints. Informal Learning Groups can support life-long learning, skill-building, and curiosity. Community leaders, self-help groups, development agencies, and local employers can help launch educational projects that encourage a culture of participatory learning to meet community needs.Edit

Ideally (imo), an "informal learning group" would be shown outside of a standard teaching venue (e.g. a classroom) and with "co-teachers" more than teacher - learners. - Doug Schuler.
