This project delves into the role of Bad Practice in non-formal education for sustainable development, focusing on Environmental NGOs in Denmark and South Korea. Drawing inspiration from critical theory, it examines the perceptions of NGOs as educators and the evolution of environmental movements. The study analyzes the potential for changing educational practices and addresses the everyday dilemma of "Good" vs. "Bad" practice. By exploring the function of barriers and desires associated with Bad Practice, the research aims to understand its impact on formal and non-formal education. Is change possible, and what does it entail?
