This open access book sheds light on a range of complex
interdependencies between adult education, young adults in
vulnerable situations and active citizenship. Adult education has
been increasingly recognized as a means to engage and re-engage
young adults and facilitate their life chances and social inclusion
thus contributing to an active citizenship within their societal
contexts. This collection of chapters dealing with issues of social
inclusion of young people represents the first book to explicitly
approach the complex interdependencies between adult education,
young adults in vulnerable situations and active citizenship from
the European perspective. Social exclusion, disengagement and
disaffection of young adults have been among the most significant
concerns faced by EU member states over the last decade. It has
been increasingly recognised by a range of stakeholders that there
is a growing number of young people suffering from the various
effects of the unstable social, economic and political situations
affecting Europe and its neighbouring countries. Young adults who
experience different degrees of vulnerability are especially at
risk of being excluded and marginalised. Engaging young adults
through adult education has been strongly related to addressing the
specific needs and requirements that would facilitate their
participation in social, economic and civic/political life in their
country contexts. Fostering the active citizenship of young people,
both directly and indirectly, is an area where many AE programmes
overlap, and this has become a core approach to integration. This
book considers social, economic and political dimensions of active
citizenship, encompassing the development of social competences and
social capital, civic and political participation and the skills
related to the economy and labour market. The cross-national
consideration of the notions of vulnerability, inclusion and active
citizenship underpins the complexity of translating these concepts
into the national contexts of adult education programmes.
