Abstract

Education and leisure are significant domains in people’s lives. At first glance, they may be seen as contradictory; whereas leisure is associated with freedom and relaxation, education is associated with learning and may not be perceived as related to freedom. This is especially due to the tendency to associate education with a formal way of studying in school as illustrated in the following definition: ‘[education is] social process in which one achieves social competence and individual growth, carried in a selected controlled setting which can be institutionalised as a school or college’ (Page and Thomas, 1977: 113).
