educational work
Targeted activities and programs that serve to convey knowledge, skills, and values, often outside the formal school and university system.

The word is made up of 'Bildung' (education) and 'Arbeit' (work), connected by an 's'. So it literally describes the work done for people's education.

The most common and most fitting verb combination is 'Bildungsarbeit leisten' (to do/provide educational work). This emphasizes the committed and often nonprofit character of this activity.

This word is often found in connection with specific areas such as 'politische Bildungsarbeit' (political educational work), 'kulturelle Bildungsarbeit' (cultural educational work), or 'historische Bildungsarbeit' (historical educational work). The organizations responsible are often foundations, associations, or memorial sites.
