Abstract

Die globale Gesellschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts ist eine »Gesellschaft in Bewegung«: Menschen verlassen ihre Heimat freiwillig oder sehen sich – aus einer Vielzahl von Gründen – zur Auswanderung gezwungen. Nicht wenige suchen gerade in Deutschland nach besseren Lebensbedingungen und Sicherheit, nach Arbeit und Wohlstand – neben Flüchtlingen und Asylbewerbern aus Drittstaaten seit einigen Jahren auch Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner europäischer Krisenstaaten. Welche aktuellen Herausforderungen bestehen für die Weiterbildung und ihr Personal vor dem Hintergrund dieser Entwicklungen?

This article focuses on the triangle of terms »Inclusion – Integration – Diversity«. It defines the terms individually and examines intersections. In addition, the author calls for a cross-over discussion of inclusion, integration and diversity.

European migration happens predominantly within the European member states. It is influenced by the target countries‘ work and social systems. In this context, Germany is the most important immigration country, which is confronted by new fields of activity in continuing education generated by the international influx of refugees.

This article focuses on continuing education for adults with a migrational background in Germany. Based on recent research findings, the authors call for a differentiated view on adults with a migrational background and point out prospects for research and practice.

The article presents key findings of a study on the attitude towards education among immigrants. The study also covers interests in continuing education particularly with regard to parent education programmes.

Migrant organisations have developed their own training opportunities for their employees. However, a qualified provision remained difficult. There remain needs of continuing education, e.g. the development of the organisation and its employees. Here the institutions of continuing education are needed.

To promote intercultural opening as a key process for improving the participatory chances in continuing education for people with a background of migration, their current opportunies and boundaries need to be taken into particular consideration. Several basic arguments are discussed in this report.

An Austrian study analysed the situation of staff with a migration history within the field of adult education. This article examines barriers and enabling conditions concerning the access to the profession and asks for the use of potential of migration biographies for activities in adult education – considering the part of professionals as well as institutions.
