Introduction. The life of a modern person today is characterized by a constant renewal of the educational path, which allows one to quickly solve problems in both professional and personal development. The countries of Eurasia are no exception. The prioritized form of continuous education in the 21st century is non-formal education. It is democratic and makes exceptional use of the resources of civil society. Leading the development of non-formal education are self-organized communities of all ages, whose members create educational, cultural, and recreational activities in the network mode. In order to promote the educational activities of these communities, normative support is required, based on the provisions of the sciences of the interdisciplinary humanities field. The aim of the article. Describe the features of all age communities’ self-organization that form event networks. Research methods. Research methods include analyzing domestic and foreign studies, identifying scientific works whose results can be interpreted as possible solutions to the problems identified in this development, modeling methods, analysis and generalization of pedagogical experiences, pedagogical surveys, interviews, participant observation, and publicly speaking initiated and organized expertise. Results and Discussion. Rationale. To realize the developmental potential of non-formal practices in a formal educational setting, conditions must be created that attract a community of all ages (especially children and adults). Effective forms of self-organization of non-formal educational communities of all ages include the following: school communities for informal communication (CAS activities, music, sports, extracurricular academic subjects), families (family education and leisure), reading clubs, religious communities, travel groups, and city tour communities. This includes the active use of pedagogical practices of non-formal education: play and project activities, independent creative group activities, crowdsourcing, and participation in social networks. All age communities create networks of events of different types and forms, which make it possible to attract new members to the communities. Conclusion. In order to realize the development potential of non-formal education for all age communities, those responsible for formal educational institutions must create the conditions for the development of event networks: provide a venue and methodological support.
