[Continuous education for people who work with the aged, especially for people who run homes for the aged (author's transl)].

In accordance with Paolo Freire learning is not only an intake of knowledge, but it is reflection of one's own life situation and finding of new solutions. The consequence for continuous education of people who run homes for the aged is that the process of learning has to be connected with the practical experience of the participants. The long termed course of continuous education for directors of homes for the aged therefore always starts with a definition of their tasks. That leads to a definition of learning goals, which will be approached by working out and following a planned schedule for the whole course.
