Article presents a learning process Poles living in emigration in England. Analyzing the fates of the post-WWII emigrants studied, it is possible to differentiate three waves of emigration to England. The first wave is composed of emigrants of a political nature (after 1945). They arrived to England along with the army of General Władysław Anders. The second wave is emigrants from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Their exits were related to the political and economic situation in Poland, as well as with ongoing political events. The third wave has been named 2004+. Among this group we may differentiate those who decided to leave following Poland’s accession to the European Union and the simultaneous opening of the labour markets of Great Britain and Ireland. By writing this paper, a goal was to show the perceptions of learning by the narrators themselves in the framework of a division of emigrants into three waves, as well as to distinguish shared areas of learning in each wave of emigration and to show the biographical knowledge of the interlocutors. With the results of the investigations as a point of reference I have used the category of ‘floating’ (authored by A. Bron) which shows the specificity of adults’ learning in emigration. In the analysis of the biographical stories of the emigrants I present the manner in which the learning of narrators of the first, second and third waves undergoes modification in a "floating" situation, leading to their adopting various attitudes from disorganized to controlling, to the making of (irrational or rational) choices and decisions and to the changes in their identities.
