the eu places non-formal learning in between formal and informal learning (see above). this has learning both in a formal setting with a learning framework and as an organised event but within a qualification. "non-formal learning: learning that is not provided by an education or training institution and typically does not lead to certification. it is, however, structured (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support). non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s perspective."
