Adult Learning through Participation in the Economic (and Political) Environment

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

It is the aim of this paper to bring attention to the alternative models of economy (and partly of politics) as sources of opportunities for learning democracy as well as development of individual identities for the adults. The paper uses the principle of linking the ailment in one area to different areas.

Disturbances in economy (labour market) present the source of disturbance in the sphere of citizenship. The development of economic rights and economic democracy may, on the other hand, become the source for strengthening the practice of democracy in a wider sense of the term.

Such a process would substantially contribute to adult learning.
