Abstract
Teaching and Learning in Informal Spaces: Learning Together Beyond the Classroom challenges one of education's oldest assumptions: that meaningful learning is confined to schools, colleges, and universities. Drawing on contemporary educational theory, lived experience, and collaborative scholarship, this groundbreaking volume demonstrates that learning flourishes wherever people ask questions, solve problems, share stories, and engage with one another.
Unlike traditional textbooks, this book embodies the very principles it explores. Written collaboratively by Professor Peter Ndiang'ui alongside student co-authors and fellow scholars, it models education as a shared journey of inquiry rather than a one-way transmission of knowledge. Students are not merely subjects of research but active contributors, theorists, and co-creators of knowledge.
