Seniors, as a segment of the general adult population, represent a special category of learners, whose relevance is increasingly greater. Against the general background of population aging, in particular the European one, seniors are becoming an extremely important group of people, and society can no longer remain inert to all these demographic, economic and cultural transformations. It is therefore necessary to delimit a new field of study - education for seniors (with specific objectives, theories, teaching methodologies in relation to traditional education and adult education).
Senior education fulfills, in this sense, the broader goal of lifelong education, which reflects the humanist political ideal of European society and cultural tradition. The traditional training scheme is no longer relevant in postmodern society, it no longer has a linear dimension, in the education - work - retirement continuum. The period of initial education is increasingly extended, while the period of employment is no longer stable at all, involving temporary work, job search, unemployment. Life expectancy is progressively extending, as is the retirement age. Therefore, a new understanding of human time and educational possibilities is needed, both from a gerontological, political and especially pedagogical perspective, in relation to seniors.
