Over-population In the South Editorial The world has seen dramatic changes over the last few years. We try to look at some of them as challenges and opportunities in the context of adult education as they are all very important for our life as well as the development or our profession. The multi-cultural dimensions of peoples' movements from one country to the other or even from one continent to the other have a great impact on learning needs and interests. Ethnic conflicts and hostility towards foreigners, especially poor foreigners, show that more and better education in this field is needed. Maybe some of the case studies presented can give some orientation. We invite colleagues to write about their experiences
