Main ideas
Professionals working in adult education should have a strong basis in, and follow, andragogy principles.
Andragogy principles recall the importance of personalised approaches to learning in adult education, fostering learners’ agency and meaning-making processes.
The universal design for learning is a strategic framework for the development of personalised learning approaches that recognises learners’ diversity and multiple means for learning.
To effectively address adult learners’ diversity, specific psychoeducational interventions might also be required.
Art therapy can be used as a psychoeducational tool in adult education to promote the development of specific adults’ competences.
