What is bildung?
The word Bildung does not exist in English and they therefore use the German word, which entails many different aspects of the formation and transformation of their inner world. Here is the European Bildung Network‘s definition:
« Bildung is the combination of the education and knowledge necessary to thrive in your society, and the moral and emotional maturity to both be a team player and have personal autonomy.
Bildung is also knowing your roots and being able to imagine the future. »
