Description

Did you ever wonder why the Nordic countries are so prosperous, peaceful, good for business, and happy?

They have a secret and it was invented in Denmark: folk-bildung.

Bildung is a German concept that combines moral and emotional development with education, but it was a Danish pastor and a teacher who democratized it. They invented folk-high-schools and laid the foundation for some of the most successful countries in the world.

Bildung; Keep Growing tells the story of this Danish invention and suggests a path towards global folk-bildung and a wiser, more meaningful, happier future.
