Abstract. The following research is historical and pedagogical and it aims to put an emphasis on the form development and contents line of the extracurricular education in children’s organisations in Bulgaria from 1944 to 1990. The specific kinds of extracurricular education, intellectual, patriotic, international, aesthetic, moral, physical and one related to labour are presented with their specific features typical for the separate stages of the researched period as well as with their correlation. The reconstruction of extracurricular education in children’s organisations, dating back from half a century, is of specific purpose. Contemporary reflexions make it possible to apply certain extracurricular practices from the second half of the 20th century in contemporary structures concerning informal education.
