Abstract

This article examines the key role that adult learning and education (ALE) has played and continues to play in addressing the challenges faced by critical engagement with identities and crossing borders in the Mediterranean region. Despite the great cultural, economic and educational diversities characterising the region, the author explores whether a distinctive and recurring pattern of ALE exists or is likely to emerge. His analysis highlights historical and contemporary landmarks (features) of ALE in the region which exist alongside others from “mainstream” European education put forward by such funding agencies as the European Union (EU). While the landmarks are distinctive, they do offer recurring patterns which are characteristic of social-purpose ALE provision in the region. Much can be drawn from ALE in the Mediterranean, together with useful insights from other parts of the world, to foster intercultural engagement in response to mass migration in the region.

地中海地区的成人学习和教育--来自南欧的视角

这篇文章探讨了成人学习与教育（ALE）在应对地中海地区关键性身份参与和跨界挑战方面已经发挥并将继续发挥的关键作用。尽管该地区在文化、经济和教育方面存在巨大差异，但作者探讨了成人学习与教育是否存在或可能出现一种独特的、反复出现的模式。他的分析突出强调了该地区 ALE 的历史和当代标志（特征），这些标志与欧洲联盟（欧盟）等资助机构提出的其他 "主流 "欧洲教育标志并存。虽然这些里程碑各具特色，但它们确实提供了该地区社会目的非正规教育与培训的重复模式。可以从地中海地区的成人学习与教育中汲取很多东西，同时借鉴世界其他地区的有益经验，以促进文化间接触，应对该地区的大规模移民。

期刊介绍： The International Review of Education – Journal of Lifelong Learning (IRE) is edited by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, a global centre of excellence for lifelong learning and learning societies. Founded in 1955, IRE is the world’s longest-running peer-reviewed journal of comparative education, serving not only academic and research communities but, equally, high-level policy and practice readerships throughout the world. Today, IRE provides a forum for theoretically-informed and policy-relevant applied research in lifelong and life-wide learning in international and comparative contexts. Preferred topic areas include adult education, non-formal education, adult literacy, open and distance learning, vocational education and workplace learning, new access routes to formal education, lifelong learning policies, and various applications of the lifelong learning paradigm.Consistent with the mandate of UNESCO, the IRE fosters scholarly exchange on lifelong learning from all regions of the world, particularly developing and transition countries. In addition to inviting submissions from authors for its general issues, the IRE also publishes regular guest-edited special issues on key and emerging topics in lifelong learning.
