International Perspectives in Adult Education – IPE 63 The reports, studies and materials published in this series aim to further the develop- ment of theory and practice in the work of the Volkshochschulen (VHS) as it relates to international aspects of adult education – and vice versa. We hope that by pro- viding access to information and a channel for communication, the series will serve to increase knowledge, deepen insights and improve cooperation in adult education at an international level.

In many ways this could also be the motto of this publication. It's never too late to learn how diverse Europe is, that its limits are by no means identical with the borders of the EU, that also, and (perhaps) currently in neighboring eastern and southern European regions, adult education and lifelong learning are key factors to positively shape the future. Life- long Learning is perhaps also a tool that can help us shape the relations between the EU and neighboring countries in a constructive and fruitful way, based on a common under- standing of European values, and not only to rely on the more or less unstable contracts between governments. ”It's never too late to learn” is certainly also valid for the decision-makers in the coun- tries examined here. Hardly any region has adequately recognized the potential and importance of adult education. Only a modern system of lifelong education can ensure economic competitiveness and social consensus. This has been recognized in the EU since the Lisbon Declaration in 2000 and purposefully implemented. In strange contrast to this is the picture in neighboring states: hardly anywhere is adult education perceived as a national responsibility, there is the lack of a legal framework as well as of controlled state funding. The education and training of adult educators is, with few exceptions, precari- ous and earning possibilities modest. The list goes on and on. This book is therefore aimed at national decision-makers in politics, in the economy and in society in general. It wants to draw a realistic picture of the situation, which depicts the deficits on the one hand, but also highlights the opportunities. Benchmarks and require- ments are formulated with special attention to the perspective of civil society institutions of adult learning, and indications on how to exit from marginalization of the sector are given. At the same time we also want to suggest to those responsible
