This paper explains the relationship between social change and lifelong learning, based on human efforts. The connecting element turns out to be the permanent process of transformation, both in terms of social change and education focused on lifelong learning. It is obvious that lifelong learning has become largely dependent on digitization, and the dominant method of this is becoming more and more pronounced as a new form of pedagogy of the self. This aspect leads to the new identity of the pedagogue/teacher, who, being also a dynamic element in the process of social change, transforms himself and at the same time the subject of learning. In this study, it is explained the need for a common vision about the interdependence between continuous and permanent social change on the one hand and the social need or the citizen’s right of the adult to train throughout life, on the other hand.
