Summary/Abstract: Bosnian and Herzegovinian society has multiple reasons for adult education or rather lifelong learning. There is a large number of unemployed and the question is, how much are their previously acquired knowledge and skills applicable and ''useful'' for new technologies, even though there is currently room to engage those people. On the other hand, the society is affected by the transitional flow in all segments, from the politics, through economics, to education, culture, helathcare... for which we also need new knowledge and skills. While all developed countries maximally respect lifelong learning, including adult education, without which it is difficult to imagine active participation and much less possible to create a super- dynamic society trends, in Bosnia and Herzegovina it is obviously being marginalised, which is actually a feature of neglected communities who are seem to assume indifference to themselves. Who could really convey interest in this issue? In the article we are dealing with a possible answer to this question.
