This document summarizes a workshop on adult education and integration processes. It includes: - Presentations from educators in Denmark and Estonia on co-created learning processes and facilitating integration. - Discussions focused on the presentations and participant inputs regarding values like equality, curiosity, security, and dialogue in multilingual settings. - An exploration of how meetings between people can start and support integration, and how facilitating learning circles can mirror values of integration through authentic relationships and a supportive atmosphere. - An evaluation activity where participants wrote down a "critical incident" or lesson taken from the workshop that could be applied to their daily work in adult education.

3. Short on the Transformative Learning
Circle: Integration af nyanländara (newcomers)
Participants from Bornholm and Gotland
– two communities with some of the same geografical and demografical terms
Both Bornholm and Gotland have recieved quite a few newcomers from The
Middle East and Africa over the past years
Opportunity for learning, developing and transforming practises and
integration processes
Opportunity for fundamental changes and/or realizations in identity through
critical reflection, dialogue and paying attention to context

4. Our common vision/view
Integration starts (and ends) with meetings
between people based on values
Equality
Curiosity
Security
Trust
Dialogue – also in
multilingual settings
Open mindset
…

5. Facilitating Learning Circle
– relations as one out of many important dimensions
and responsibilities
Creating and maintaining authentic,
commiting relations in the group
Meetings in the circle mirror our vision and view
on integration = close to practice (‘praksisnær’)
Changes in identity involve both regressive
and progressive processes  demand a supportive
and secure atmosphere in the circle

6. ”Why don’t you just do it?
I believe you can!”

7. Critical incident / afgørende begivenhed
Part of the TLC evaluation design
Described as an incidence pertaining to
personal or organizational transformation
Described as an incidence that has had a decisive impact on a
transformative process or itself has embodied a transformative event
Gives concrete expressions to the different work practices from which
we in our circle derived and constructed what learning or even
transformation that took place – personal and/or organizational.
A complex process – we used tools like metaphors, pictures, collective
written brainstorms, story telling etc.

8. How can we transform this ws
into a ‘critical incident’?
Please write a note-to-self on your puzzle piece:
What do you take with you from this conference and workshop,
that you can use in your daily work with adult education?
How can that specific learning be part of a co-creative or collaborative
process you take part in right now?
Please share with the person next to you 
