Abstract
At the start of the 21st century, globalization has become a vibrant force that affects the current world order. While some view this phenomenon with scepticism, others see it as an inescapable world-wide occurrence with tremendous magnitude for the way we organize our lives. Recognizing the interdependence of our global societies, there is good reason to assume that institutions of adult education are not insulated from the impacts of globalization and must act proactively to avoid its negative impact and capitalize on its potential.
