In the six years since The Men’s Sheds Movement book in 2015, the Movement has broadened to include many other nations and also Women’s Sheds, encompassing almost 3,000 Sheds worldwide to 2021. Shoulder to Shoulder: Broadening the Men’s Shed Movement shines a light on the transformational experiences and positive impact that Sheds have had on the lives, health and wellbeing of men, women, families and communities. The book’s many powerful Men’s and Women’s Shed case studies highlight how shared, hands-on social activity by ‘shedders’ can reduce the potentially destructive forces of loneliness and social isolation, even during a global pandemic. It’s about the universal value of “having somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk with,” as envisaged in the very first Australian Men’s Shed in 1998. Informative, insightful, easy to read and carefully researched, Shoulder to Shoulder provides a well-documented tour de force of this globally expanding and broadening international movement.

Global life, democratic society, free trade and regional cooperation are current issues which require high quality human resources that have the ability to compete within the contexts of mutual assistance. Globalisation is about interaction between nations through the flow of goods, services, money, people, ideas, information and technology. Competitiveness is now more reliant on human capital and the ability to acquire and apply technology. Many nations are also preparing themselves to be democratic although their knowledge of and experience in dealing with democracy is still developing. Education must therefore be a basic priority in national development, particularly in newly developing nations, in order to make the most of national development. This paper focuses on the implementation of civic education in the form of nonformal or extension education to help Indonesian citizens to better understand democracy.
