Bildung

Description

Gregg Henriques:

"Bildung is a related concept that has been recently advanced by Lene Rachel Andersen in a series of works. ... Bildung is about character formation undertaken primarily through education and cultural development, and was the "secret" to the success of the Nordic countries."

The Book

Michael Haupt:

“The Nordic Secret - A European story of beauty and freedom, is a 2017 book by Lene Rachel Andersen and Tomas Björkman (Lene did the majority of the research and writing) that traces how Denmark, Norway and Sweden went from feudal agricultural societies to industrialized democracies. Bildung is the lifelong process of personal development of an individual which comes close to the English or French term “formation” (from the Latin forma = format, layout) which etymologically means giving shape or form to something.
