Summary/Abstract: The authors of this article aimed at emphasizing the most significant issues related to the broad concept of multicultural education. The inspiration came from the fact that current federation of European countries – European Union – has made a multilateral progress during recent 10 years. The ensuing implications concern the diversity of cultures within societies of the Union member countries. The article displays an outline of the role that needs to be fulfilled by teachers of adults called andragogue teachers. As such they assume responsibility for unequivocal and uniform coexistence of all people within the European Union despite social, cultural, economic, and political discrepancies. The role of andragogue teachers is becoming a cornerstone of European education. Their professionalism derived from desirable competence and appropriate personality determines the consolidation of multicultural awareness among societies. Consequently, it leads to peaceful coexistence of diverse European cultures considering the rules of humanism, democracy, solidarity, and mutual tolerance. Hence andragogics should constitute the ultimate educational objective for European Education. According to authors, the content of article may encourage further investigation and development of andragology concept.
