Adult education as an element of migrants’ integration – proposal of approach shift. In this article, I discuss the current approach to the education of adult migrants, which is rarely rooted in an andragogical perspective. To fill this gap, after pointing out its weaknesses, I propose a new paradigm of integration embedded in the traditions and concepts of adult education, i.e.: transformative learning (Mezirow, 2003), experiential learning (Jarvis, 2009), situational learning (Lave, Wenger, 1991), service learning (Eyler, Giles, 1999), and biographical learning (Alheit, 2009). At the same time, I also provide specific examples of good practices from Poland and around the world that can serve as inspiration for practitioners working with migrants. In the last part of the article, I present a synthetic proposal to change the approach of working with migrants based on their empowerment, agency and local resources.
