| Research Abstract |
In this research we studied current problems of lifelong learning under the process of globalization in the internationalized society. Firstly, we examined the recent policies of UNESCO,OECD and EC on adult education. There are many serious problems in the multicultural society, and in European countries many new projects for adult basic education and community education have been started for minority groups. The role of associations and the form of partnership between public and private sectors have become very important.
In Asian countries it is difficult to develop international networks because of the different situations of each of the countries. But recently the social participations of women for community development and literacy education activities for minority groups has been very active. Interest in exchange of activities and studies of lifelong education in Asian and South Pacific countries is increasing.
Also in Japan, many voluntary groups are engaged in support networks for minorities and forming relationships with local agencies. It is important to discuss the curriculum of "development education" or "education for international understanding" for young people and volunteer staff in the field of lifelong learning.
