Abstract
ABSTRACT Minoritised communities have a long history of self-organising learning to meet their youth’s varied educational needs. Community education is a widespread societal phenomenon, yet a conceptual framework mapping the diversity of educational initiatives remained lacking. We bring together the body of academic work on community education in a systematic literature review and extract an array of cases. By regarding these cases through a conceptual framework based on their organisational form and their main objectives, we distinguish different types of community education and we deduce that different communities have different needs, which translate into different intended purposes. Distinguishing similarities and differences in community education across communities and countries is a necessary step in acknowledging the resourcefulness of minoritised communities in self-organising education, which is pertinent for stakeholders of community schools as well as for those researching community educational spaces.
