Combined approaches
The educational system may use a combination of formal, informal, and non-formal learning methods. The UN and EU recognise these different forms of learning (cf. links below). In some schools students can get points that count in the formal-learning systems if they get work done in informal-learning circuits. They may be given time to assist international youth workshops and training courses, on the condition they prepare, contribute, share and can proof this offered valuable new insights, helped to acquire new skills, a place to get experience in organising, teaching, etc.
In order to learn a skill, such as solving a Rubik's cube quickly, several factors come into play at once:
* Directions help one learn the patterns of solving a Rubik's cube
* Practicing the moves repeatedly and for extended time helps with "muscle memory" and therefore speed
* The Rubik's cube's six colors help anchor solving it within the head.
* Occasionally revisiting the cube helps prevent loss of skill
