Andragoška spoznanja se v tokratni številki ukvarjajo s sodobnim pomenom temeljev radikalnega izobraževanja odraslih ter obstoječih in nastajajočih prostorov in iniciativ radikalnega izobraževanja ...odraslih, katerih skupni cilj je kritično proučiti sodobne neenakosti, ki jih ustvarjajo neoliberalne politike migracij in neenaki režimi mobilnosti, ter se boriti proti njim. Prispevki se osredotočajo na pobude, ki vključujejo elemente radikalnega izobraževanja v najširšem smislu in ki jih (so)oblikujejo migranti in begunci ter druge skupine, obravnavane kot migrantske ali manjšinske, ter na pobude, katerih cilj je progresivno poseganje v realnost, ki jo raziskujejo prispevki.
This special issue brings together contributions that explore the contemporary relevance of radical adult education foundations and existing and emerging radical adult education spaces and ...initiatives, which share an aim to critically examine and mobilise against today’s unequal neoliberal migration and mobility regimes. The contributions focus on initiatives that have radical educational components in the broadest sense, are (co-)developed by migrants, refugees, and other migrantised and minoritized people, and which aim at a progressive intervention in the realities under investigation.
This article looks at the process of education-to-work transitions in female-dominated welfare professions within the Slovenian post-crisis context marked by a workfarist agenda. It departs from a ...scholarship that conceptualises precarity as a transitional vulnerability and disaffiliation exacerbated by workfarist policies to explore the contemporary experience of those trying to achieve professional integration under a volatile workfarist regime. The findings reveal a mismatch between established regulations for early career recruitment and professional licensing and actual chances in the labour market to meet these requirements through available workfarist non-standard, entry-level jobs/schemes designed for particular status and/or socio-demographic groups. It gives new evidence that European workfare regimes exacerbate precarity and a novel understanding of state-manufactured precarisation as an intersectional process of marginalisation and discrimination that not only hinders integration into welfare professions, but also downloads the costs of social reproduction on the next generation, causes precarious ageing and widens intersectional differences.
This article explores the strategies of migrant workers from post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) within the process of transnational exchange characterized by transnational labour market ...intermediaries that have substantially altered the former national bilateral employment relations. Utilizing a Bourdieuian conceptual framework it examines Slovenian and Polish workers’ migration strategies and struggles to acquire and convert capitals within the process of transnational exchange and upon arrival in the UK. The article uncovers the (self-)colonial cultural capital embodied in CEE workers’ habitus that drives their strategies to take up various working and training opportunities in the UK in order to acquire (trans)nationally recognized cultural capital. This labour of acquisition drives Polish and Slovenian workers to seek specific cross-cultural and ethnic-niche intermediary services that can manipulate the most reliable symbolic signs in order to make profits from migrant worker-consumers. In this regard the article also exposes inter- and intra-ethnic variations.
This article explores innovative EU-funded migrant integration projects which emerged in Slovenia after the 2008 global economic crisis. It stems from sociological literature that conceptualises ...integration as a general societal phenomenon that shields against precarity. By conducting qualitative interviews with those running the studied projects and other stakeholders, this article explores the projects’ drivers, tactics, and their impact on established institutions. The findings show that the projects were established by proactive activists who utilised EU funds to professionalise their activities and engage in partnerships to develop needs-based, cross-sectional and networked provision that empowers migrants and benchmarks professional norms and standards for migrant integration. Its specific contribution lies in uncovering a multi-way integration process that moves away from mainstream approaches to integration, which segregate and demand change only from migrants, and also includes public institutions and servants, professionals and host societies as a whole.

On the 30th anniversary of the erasure of permanent residents, which is still without an epilogue, this article addresses the consequences of the erasure, the responses of the wider community and the ...struggle of the erased. Drawing on the broader concept of integration, the analysis of secondary data and participant observation at events staged by the erased during the traditional Week of the Erased, this article finds that the ethnonationalist erasure excluded specific permanent residents from the history of the community and its solidarity compromise, and triggered either prolonged control or hidden solidarity from members of the wider community. Consequently, a community of struggle developed relatively late and is still fighting violations and demanding restitution today. With the choice of specific methodology, the article also highlights the important role played by the public efforts of the erased and the role marginalised groups play in the conscientization of the wider community about the need to address and fight structural inequalities.
Ob 30. obletnici izbrisa stalnih prebivalcev, ki še danes nima ustreznega epiloga, ta članek obravnava posledice izbrisa, odzive širše skupnosti na izbris in boj izbrisanih. Izhajajoč iz širšega koncepta integracije ter s pomočjo analize sekundarnega gradiva in opazovanja z udeležbo na dogodkih, ki so jih izbrisani pripravili ob tradicionalnem Tednu izbrisanih, ugotavlja, da je etnonacionalistično dejanje izbrisa točno določene stalne prebivalce izključilo iz zgodovine skupnosti ter njenega solidarnostnega kompromisa in sprožilo bodisi podaljšan nadzor bodisi prikrito solidarnost članov širše skupnosti in posledično relativno pozno grajenje skupnosti boja, ki se še danes bori za odpravo krivic in povrnitev odvzetih pravic. S pomočjo izbrane metodologije pa članek poudari tudi pomembno vlogo javnih prizadevanj izbrisanih ter s tem pomen in vlogo marginaliziranih skupin pri ozaveščanju širše skupnosti o potrebi po obravnavi in odpravljanju strukturnih neenakosti.

Project organization is used extensively to promote creativity, innovation and responsiveness to local context, but can lead to precarious employment. This paper compares European Social Fund ...(ESF)-supported projects supporting ‘active inclusion’ of disadvantaged clients in Slovenia and France. Despite many similarities between the two social protection fields in task, temporality, teams and socio-economic context, the projects had different dynamics with important implications for workers. In Slovenia project dynamics have been precarious, leading to insecure jobs and reduced status for front-line staff; in France, by contrast, projects and employment have been relatively stable. Our explanation highlights the transaction, more specifically, the capacity of government agencies to function as intermediaries managing the transactions through which ESF money is disbursed to organizations providing services. We find that transnational pressures on the state affect its capacity as a transaction organizer to stabilize the organizational field. In Slovenia, transnational pressures associated with austerity and European Union integration have stripped away this capacity more radically than in France, leading to precarious project dynamics and risk shifting onto project workers.
