‘Bildung Life’ : Holistic Ideals of Hip Hop Education
(2023) p.50-69- Abstract
Over the past fifteen years, Hip Hop–based education has gained ground in academic literature, especially so by building on the educational tradition and gospel of Each One Teach One.

Over the past fifteen years, Hip Hop–based education has gained ground in academic literature, especially so by building on the educational tradition and gospel of Each One Teach One. A contribution to this scholarly discussion is the Scandinavian attempt to analytically tie Hip Hop education to perspectives on learning and pedagogy that traditionally derives from popular movements of the twentieth century. Accordingly, the context of Swedish Hip Hop education takes place within an emancipatory educational tradition called Folkbildning in Swedish (popular education or ‘Nordic Bildung’ internationally). Through linking this educational tradition to empirical examples from previous research, this chapter aims to discuss how Hip Hop education in Swedish educational contexts parallels the essence of the Nordic Bildung practice and philosophy that permeates them. The chapter also discusses ways in which Hip Hop and Each One Teach One invigorates contemporary understandings of Bildung through enabling organic education. Also, the activities themselves, together with the encompassing settings, generate personal cultivation, but also give rise to possibilities for entrepreneurship, mainly in relation to the realm of Swedish welfare state.
