20.500.12556/RUL-182832 International mobility in adult education exploring the impact of Erasmus+ from the learners’ perspective This study examines the impact of short-term European mobility on adult learners within the Erasmus+ Programme, addressing a research gap as existing literature has predominantly focused on students and youth. The purpose of this study is to systematically explore the range of learning outcomes experienced by participants in mobility activities in adult education. An exploratory qualitative research design was employed, using problem-centred interviews and qualitative content analysis. The sample consisted of 24 adult learners from Austria, Germany, Latvia, and Slovenia. The findings reveal a broad spectrum of outcomes. Across all cases, mobility strongly fostered intercultural learning, social connections, wellbeing, independent living skills, and communication in multilingual contexts. In contrast, outcomes related to environmental awareness and vocational skills varied depending on the thematic focus of the mobility activity and participants’ individual backgrounds. The study provides an empirically grounded overview of the potential impact areas of Erasmus+ mobility for adults and highlights its transformative role in fostering lifelong learning. These findings contribute to a better understanding of adult learning processes in international mobility contexts and offer implications for the design of future Erasmus+ programmes. adult learner mobility adult education adult learning Erasmus programme intercultural learning mobility learning outcomes transformative learning mobilnost odraslih učečih se učenje odraslih program Erasmus+ medkulturno učenje učni izidi mobilnosti transformativno učenje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-05-25 11:44:54 2026-05-25 11:45:01 2026-05-26 04:35:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 995-1008 no. 3 Vol. 15 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 374.7 2165-8714 10.12973/eu-jer.15.3.995 279090435 Mikulec_EU-JER_15_3_995.pdf Mikulec_EU-JER_15_3_995.pdf 1 BB2442C409135A7C39EAAEA3D519C961 6fae4f8520b33807cfad1ba63a1fa7ad64d28614ce273fc2fdaa4c2dffb5ddf1 7d063665-581f-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234406 https://www.eu-jer.com/international-mobility-in-adult-education-exploring-the-impact-of-erasmus-from-the-learners-perspective 1 127862ff-581e-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234395 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
