Summary/Abstract: This article deals with motivation as a competence of teachers in adult education. The target group of the teachers are migrants. Twelve adult education employees who impart knowledge to refugees in various projects and institutions were interviewed. Guided episodic interviews were conducted. These were transcribed and evaluated using structuring qualitative content analysis. In summary, the analysis found that the biographical proximity to foreign cultures, identification with the refugees based on one's own migration or refugee experience, and the pleasure of having placed migrants in training or work are motivating factors.
