Abstract

My study incorporates the voices and experiences of Afghan women who have participated in non-formal education programs offered at various learning centers in Salzburg. My study uses a post-colonial feminist perspective to reveal the agency of women by examining their experiences of non-formal and informal education and investigating how and to what extent women perceive their non-formal and informal educational experiences as empowering by using, a combination of the „Focused Ethnographic Approach“ (Knoblauch, 2001) and the biographical-narrative interview method (Rosenthal 2015).
