The European goal for the next decade:
The European Community is to “[…] become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustained economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” (European Council 2000)

for achieving this goal,”[…] central not only to competitiveness and employability but also to social inclusion, active and employability but also to social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development."

• adult education / lifelong learning is predominantly taken up by individuals who already have a certain amount of training
• socially disadvantaged people are seldom represented or have difficulty in successfully accomplishment
