Informal education, within these circles, are traditional or not so
traditional strategies or pedagogy which will help,in the modern western
world in which we live, sustain and develope an identifiable minority
culture (in our case Jewish culture). Our aim is to suggest the
establishment of a unit (track),for graduate students, to train informal
educators at the Melton Center. Assuming that in other academic (or other
educational) environments similar questions might have been asked and even
some responses found, I'm seeking the help of xmca affiliates to identify
existing programs dealing with this subject or recent literature published
in this field.
If you have any information I would appreciate you sending it to.
