‘Danning’ (Norwegian) or ‘dannelse’ (Danish) are derived from the German ‘Bildung,’ which was developed as a philosophical notion by prominent German thinkers during the Enlightenment period and beyond. The underlying idea, however, can be traced back to much earlier European intellectual history, most notably the ancient Greek paideia.
