Popular education in Sweden: much more than you wanted to know (2022)
Excellent article, and a very interesting look into how a society may accelerate its development.Perhaps maker spaces are born of a similar ethos, though of course very stem driven.Unfortunately it seems that as formal education has become more institutionalised and more necessary as a marker for employability, doing anything remotely 'bookish' in your free time has become almost definitively 'uncool'. A shame.
