In this paper, we analyse the implementation of the Council Resolution on a renewed European agenda for adult learning (hereafter 2011 Agenda) in the period 2012-2020 in two European Union (EU) member states: Portugal and Slovenia. Theoretically, our discussion draws on studies researching European governance in adult learning. At the same time, empirically we perform a comparative analysis between the two countries and discuss similarities and differences in terms of adult learning (AL) policy ideas, activities of national coordinators for the implementation of the 2011 Agenda, and AL related European Social Funds projects. Our findings indicate that the normative vision of 2011 Agenda is well embedded in both countries' policies, that national coordinators undertook various activities to implement 2011 Agenda, and that EU funds play a key role in funding and directing both countries' AL systems.

The objective of this research is to explore how communication technology and social media affects the intergenerational relationships between older persons and their adult children in Bangkok. Using Bengston and Schrader's (Bengtson and McChesney 1998) measurement framework for intergenerational relationships, this study examines how communication technology, namely the smart phone and its accompanying applications, Line and Facebook, has impacted the relationship between thirty older persons and their adult children. Purposive sampling was used to select participants from three elderly associations located in different neighbourhoods around Bangkok, data was collected using semi-structured interviews and data was analysed via thematic analysis. � The results of this study indicate that while the use of such technological tools may bring about certain negative impacts, when utilised efficiently and to its full potential, these innovations could enrich and foster relationships. Given that older persons are able to overcome the barriers that prohibit their willingness to adopt these tools, data results illustrate that rather than dividing the generations, access to these communicative technological tools have been shown to decrease the generation gap between older persons and their children.
