The title of this anthology mirrors the theme of the 9th Nordic Conference on Adult Education
and Learning. The caption reflects how adult education plays an integral part in our societies
by advancing new learning that generates possibilities to address contemporary challenges.
While the chapters reflect the wide variety of research connected to the field of adult
education the authors agree on the ideal of combining the development of work life competences
with the promotion of democratic empowerment as demonstrated in the tradition of Nordic adult
education. DOI https: doi.org 10.52038 9783643916587
