Summary/Abstract: In the light of civilisational and social changes, neighbourhood relations between people living in a given community, entailing everyday, direct, friendly contact based on trust and collaboration, are becoming an extremely important aspect of civil society’s formation. The author proposes a closer examination of the subject of neighbourhood relations in the context of informal civic education for adults. Referring to the idea of social capital, she describes the educational capacity of neighbourhood relations and places them in the context of contemporary concepts of informal adult education. This perspective can result in more efficiently using their potential in designing initiatives to strengthen civil society.
