Abstract
Lifelong Learning is not a new concept in education and in the development of personality. It has been an issue in theoretical sources, business affairs, in everyday life and on the level of politicians for many years. Nowadays Lifelong Learning in the rapidly changing world has become like an “umbrella” embracing all kinds of education leading to a certain system of education Adult education is an important part of this system. It is never neutral. Educators provide and organize education, encourage learners, promote change based on the social, political and cultural situation and priorities in the society and country, whilst also acting in the global world. Adult educators take responsibility for being open to and responsible for personal development and social intervention. Engaging in adult education means interaction, which should be based on the democratic values and principles. The article characterizes the adult educator as a teacher, a guide, a facilitator, a trainer from the theoretical point of view and gives the real analysis, based on documents, questionnaires, discussions in the case of Latvia, leading to the point that it is a very essential issue in the policy of Lifelong Learning in the country.
