Description
Summary:This paper deals with influences of migration on adult education in the Republic of Croatia in the context of lifelong learning. In the introduction we present the most common types of migration in Croatia during the Homeland War. In the second part we present the migration flows occurring during the Homeland War and in the post war period which had a special impact on adult education in the context of lifelong learning. A special emphasis is given to the changes in programmes, organizational forms, didactic-methodical modes and decisions in the education of newly formed groups (refugees and displaced persons). In this paper adult education is shown as an important factor for the development of the culture of peace, which is of great importance for the integration of war migrants. In the end, we give several examples of good practice from the work with displaced persons and refugees promoting the culture of peace as a central notion of education in the last decade of the 20th century.
