Informal learning refers to any type of learning that occurs outside of a traditional educational setting. It can take place through everyday experiences, social interactions or self-directed study and does not follow a structured curriculum or have an assigned teacher. This form of learning is often more relaxed and flexible than formal education, allowing for greater exploration and experimentation. Examples of informal learning include reading books or articles on one's own interest, attending workshops or seminars, participating in hobbies or clubs, or simply having conversations with others to gain new knowledge or skills.
