摘要：Throughout its existence, every person is concurrently or sequentially under the impact of multiple educational influences that contribute to their formation. These influences, purposeful educational, triggers and produce changes in the internal structure of the human personality, whether having an intentional, systematic, organized character, or acting spontaneously, accidentally. Given the different degree of intentionality of education influences and the existence of different learning situations, education is found under three main forms combining and complementing each other: formal, non-formal education and informal education. While formal education has, however, the central role in the process of forming human, the school of the 3 rd millennium cannot remain impassive to the messages coming on non-formal and informal channels, the more as their impact on human personality is growing. This research aims to highlight the characteristics of the three forms of education (through documentation in the literature), the relations between them and their contribution in shaping students' skills at the "Georg e Bacovia" University in Bacau. Using as research method the interview - based survey, the research aims to determine the attitude of students towards non -formal education, the identification of skills and competences which it forms, an d the influence it exerts on the young people.
