la vie associative
French tradition of education
One cannot reduce adult education to a series of regular activities
consisting of modules which have now become ritualized in the form of
courses. The very participation in the life of an association, being
conscious of what one is doing there (such as the running of a centre) is,
in itself, a form of education. And the life of the association sometimes
constitutes a springboard for taking on other responsibilities at a local or
national level (Ormessano quoted in Toynbee 1985: 10)
