"LIFELONG LEARNING IN EUROPE, Vol. II - DIFFERENCES AND DIVISIONS. Strategies of Social Integration and Individual Learning Biographies" This book concentrates on the contradictions of lifelong learning policies. It takes up the discussion on the potentials and limitations of lifelong learning that have been raised in the first volume of the 'Lifelong learning in Europe'-series. On the one hand flexibilisation and individualisation require a differentiation of learning opportunities according to individual needs and aspirations, social positions and biographical perspectives. On the other hand the diversification of policies for different target groups often implies inequalities in terms of social recognition and usability of qualifications. The relationship between differences and divisions is analysed theoretically as well as in concrete case studies. Potentials of lifelong learning are critically analysed with regard to both formal education and informal learning situations embedded in the context of community or (sub)cultural practice.
