Capabilities in the Context of Education and Whole-Day Schooling: The Situation in Poland

Abstract

The project: Capabilities in the context of education and whole-day schooling co-ordinated by the University of Bielefeld, which this expertise is prepared for, is aimed at:

• discussion of different models of integrating education (Bildung),

• bringing together formal education (school), nonformal education (youth work, etc.) and informal education (parents, peers, etc).

The thesis behind it is that:

• a modern approach to education should not only focus on school objective knowledge, but try to integrate the other fields of education (as in the above), too

• the above can happen in form of modern school organization but it can also happen in an independently organized form e.g. in the afternoon.
