The paper analyses learning from the perspective of migration. It is based on a qualitative study of Polish first-generation migrants in Iceland. The theoretical framework adopted is translocal learning and learning from places -which joins the perspective of social learning with learning from the environment. The empirical material was used to construct eight categories showing translocal learning outcomes: practical skills, communicative competences, analytic competence, assimilation of values, selfconfidence, independence, living with uncertainty and mobility skills. The findings show that translocal learning has a critical potential of challenging the dominant ideology. Some of the learning outcomes help migrants in further migration Finally, I suggest a new concept for future research -translocal pedagogy.

Adult education courses for migrants – especially language and citizenship courses – are a controversial issue in Europe. They can be seen as empowering migrants by teaching them necessary skills for social mobility, but whenever introduced by right-wing parties and made obligatory, they can also become a tool whereby states control their new citizens by exercising symbolic power over their lives. This article focuses on Polish adult migrants in Reykjavik, Iceland, their educational needs and their opinions about various forms of adult learning. It is based on a qualitative study – observations and 30 semi-structured interviews with Polish migrants – as well as on a study of adult education courses available in Reykjavik. The results of this study are achieved by analysing adult education, as well as migrants' educational needs, through the prisms of place, time and power.
