Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of lifelong learning in three dimensions – macro, meso, and microsocial, using the example of educational gerontology. The first dimension refers to legal acts forming the basis for educational policy creation. The second dimension highlights institutions and organizations implementing recommendations found in reports from international organizations involved in developing the lifelong learning concept. The third dimension focuses on the individual's life context, the foundation for forming human identity. Although the analyzed concept is implemented in many places worldwide, it has a distinctly European character. In conclusion, three different research approaches that can be applied to explore lifelong learning are provided.
