The international potential for men’s shed-based learning
This paper uses new data from research into informal learning through community-based ‘men’s sheds’ organisations, that have proliferated rapidly and recently across much of southern Australia, to ask ‘What is the potential for shed-based community learning in other countries?’ It is based on a continuing suite of Australian research into informal learning occurring in community contexts for men, particularly research into men not in paid work.
The authors’ research report, ‘Men’s sheds in Australia: learning through community contexts’, is indexed as TD/TNC 89.03.
