Synopsis

Education Through Settlements offers a bold vision for how local communities can educate themselves and strengthen society. This book argues that settlements should become dynamic centers of learning, culture, religion, and public service, accessible to people from all walks of life.

Through a clear call for experimentation and local action, it presents a program to create urban and rural hubs that educate adults, connect neighborhoods, and foster citizenship. It contends that a new kind of university and church—intensely spiritual and broadly educational—can empower people to shape their towns and futures.

• See why settlements are proposed as places to study local history, economy, and social life while driving real community changes.


• Explore roles for libraries, research, and outreach that relate learning to everyday work, housing, health, and safety.


• Learn how leaders and volunteers can build collaborations across faiths and social groups without losing intellectual freedom or spiritual intensity.


• Understand how education, culture, and service can align to create a lasting impact on cities and regions.

Ideal for readers curious about social reform, adult education, and how local centers can influence national policy and religious life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
