Abstract
The extremist views and the phenomenon of fascism adolescents in schools, are almost a daily problem in Greek schools. According to surveys, students in secondary education are victims because of this phenomenon. These incidents show the need for direct confrontation and intervention of teachers, but not to a simple change of student behavior, caused by external stimuli but in order for students to learn - as claimed by many researchers (Lewin, Kolb, Freire, Mezirow, Jarvis, Boud, etc.) - to process the data and transform their experiences into knowledge, skills, values and feelings (Jarvis, 2004).The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of experiential and informal learning in forming non-fascist political thinking in adolescents.Through research is expected to design a methodological plan based on experiential and informal learning which will help to combat right-wing views in adolescents and transformation of their perceptions of fascism in the school community.
