Summary/Abstract: Cognitive societies, the challenge brought about by change, as an argument for the preoccupation with lifelong learning, where lifelong education and training are the most adequate way for anyone to answer the challenges of change; digital technology transforms every aspect of the citizens’ life into modern life, offers opportunities and multiple options, but also risks and increased uncertainties. The citizens have the freedom to adopt various lifestyles but also the responsibility to organise their own lives. We emphasise the importance of national educational programmes regarding the facilitation and opening towards the European space of adults, in order to demonstrate respect for the citizens of every European community, respect for a system of values necessary regardless of the economic or political level of each country.
