“Education is, before everything else, the process of giving to the ordinary members of society its full common meanings, and the skills that will enable them to amend these meanings, in the light of their personal and common experience.”

Raymond Williams, ‘Culture is Ordinary’

On this hub are articles on cultural activities apart from the arts, which are to be found on the arts hub, surprisingly enough.
