Abstract

Transcultural adult education combines different cultures by emphasizing different generations, milieus, and interests, and, thus, facilitates a sustainable, integrated, ethical and programmatic framework for the future, following the global and European educational agenda (UNESCO, GRUNDVIG). In this regard, biographical learning offers, as a particular transcultural coping strategy, opportunities for transformation, remembrance and experiences. The study, therefore, focuses on such kinds of adult education as a core element, particularly of transcultural adult education, which facilitates interpreting meanings within social interactions. It also facilitates in the confrontation with a plural environment according to the situation, whereby past, present and future form a dynamic unity through the direct interest in the opposite.
