Summary/Abstract: This monograph is a collection of texts written by researchers, practitioners and theoreticians of adult education from Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia). Its focus is on areas of contemporary adult education. The key issue is informal-learning space, where we can see the shift towards positive valuation of the ideas of localism and social commitment and to learning through (auto)reflection shaped by currents of information and individual experience. Another significant matter is the non-formal area of education, where intensive changes are taking place. The activities of associations and foundations, the dissemination of knowledge, work within open-education institutions, the non-governmental educational institution sector, citizenship – all are important areas of research, comparison and analysis that can be used to increase andragogical knowledge.
