Abstract
Seljačka sloga (Peasant Concord) was a cultural and educational organization related to the Croatian Peasant Party. Before the Second World War, it had around 1,200 branches and more than 60,000 members and was the largest cultural association in Croatia. It led the educational and cultural activities of the mass “Croatian Peasant Movement” and created models that the HSS (Croatian Peasant Party applied in educational policy when it came to power in Banovina of Croatia (1939- 1941). Therefore, this research tried to answer the question about its non-institutional educational activities and their influence on the official educational policy of Banovina of Croatia. In addition, as far as possible, it pointed out some peculiarities of the work in the area of north-western Croatia.
