Neformalusis vaikų ugdymas yra socialinis kultūrinis reiškinys, kadangi asmenybė formuojasi veikiama visuomenės ir jos kultūros. Kiekvieną žmogų visuomenėje veikia daugybė veiksnių – žmonių santykiai, visuomenės ir pasaulio įvykiai, daiktai ir reiškiniai, masinės komunikacijos priemonės – visa, su kuo žmogus susiduria sociume. Vaiką, ypač paauglį, kaip besiformuojančią asmenybę, šie veiksniai veikia daug intensyviau, kadangi šiame amžiaus tarpsnyje formuojasi prielaidos vaikui aktyviai įsijungti ne tik į šeimos buitinį, bet ir klasės, mokyklos bei platesnį socialinės aplinkos gyvenimą. Dalyvaudamas neformaliojo ugdymo veiklose vaikas išmoksta dalytis patirtimi su kitais, dalyvauti bendruomenės gyvenime, įtvirtina socialiai vertingo elgesio normas.
Non-formal education of children is a socio-cultural phenomenon, since personality development is first of all affected by the society and its culture. There are multiple factors that influence every individual in a society, including: human relations, society and global events, things and everyday occurrences, mass media, i.e. everything what an individual encounters in the social environment. These factors have a huge impact on the child and especially on the adolescent, i.e. during this period the preconditions are being developed for active involvement of the child not only into the family life, but also into the life of the class, school and wider society. Children involved in the activity of non-formal education learn to exchange the experience with the peers, participate in the community life and acquire socially beneficial behaviour norms. The aim of the Article is to reveal the discourse of non-formal education of children as a socio-cultural phenomenon. While planning the development trends, the Lithuanian education system takes into account the global changes and economic development of the European countries based on creative personalities having a broad cultural outlook and constantly upgrading their skills and knowledge. In view of this the education strategies should set forth the guidelines of the national education system with a view to ensuring the development of the national cultural identity, traditions and heritage, and to retaining the country‘s authenticity and originaity. For the child it is especially important to know the native country, its past, history, customs and traditions. In order to pursue the challenging tasks of the constantly changing education system, non-formal education of children is developed toward socio-cultural integration, creative society, self-education, self-expression and lifelong learning.
