The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the research on intergenerational learning of Traditional Knowledge (TK) through informal education. Using qualitative methods, case study was used to explore storytelling by nomadic herders to educate the youth in Mongolian rural areas. This case study consists of 22 interviews with nomad herders, their children, and urban older adults with more education. The first part provides an overview of the TK of pastoralists and the impact of modernisation. The second part addresses the concept of a TK system as informal and nonformal learning within lifelong education , as well as its contextualisation in Mongolia. Thereafter, the research methodology and the study design are outlined, and data presented. The last part identifies the issues of TK transmission within the intergenerational informal learning practice of nomads . The findings suggest that intergenerational informal learning programs are necessary as part of lifelong learning, to promote Traditional nomadic culture and knowledge, and develop incentive policies for participation. The article concludes with recommendations to develop intergenerational informal learning for TK transmission. This study contributes to a richer understanding of lifelong education, particularly the usefulness of older and younger generations transmitting as well as learning nearly forgotten knowledge and values.

Volcano tourism is a part of ecotourism or geotourism in developed and developing countries. The visitors or tourists in this kind of tourism immerse themselves in the bodily enjoyment of feeling and sensing the volcano's high elevation instead of viewing its beauty. The present article aims to explore tourists' subjective experiences of being at a high altitude by taking the case of Mount Semeru tourists. The tourist attraction of Mount Semeru as a volcanic mountain has a selling point and appeal for climbing but with threats and risks. This research explores and reveals the meaning of hiking trips and the manifestation of fear during trips in risky areas. The existential-phenomenological approach examines multifaceted phenomena from an individual's point of view. Informants were determined by using a purposive sampling technique. In this phenomenological study, researchers look for information (individuals) who have the capability so they can articulate their life experiences related to the phenomenon under study. This study's results describe the experience of climbers enjoying the journey through struggles and successes by interpreting the phenomena during the ascent and the anticipatory attitude of climbers toward facing the threats and risks of climbing Mount Semeru.
