This essay is based on autoethnography and reflects on experience, meaningful moments, positive turning points in the author’s learning journey as a scholar, university teacher and adult educator. Becoming and being somebody has been a long, lifelong, and emotional process. The author asked this question: what does the learning journey mean and why is it meaningful for her? The essay shows how the author reflected on the experience, and used a personal diary, memos, and notes. For the reflective writing, the author based themself here on a narrative and autoethnographic approach, having in mind concentrating more on peak, positive and meaningful rather than negative experience. The final writing process was a kind of retelling that involves re-reading the diary and rewriting this essay in the form of a personal narrative. To make the essay coherent the author relied upon the structure of the narrative.

In the last decades, Estonian Liberal Adult Education (LAE) has been supported by the Nordic-Baltic cooperation in adult education. Relying on a strong professional network, cooperation would have been impossible without inputs from practitioners of Estonian LAE. From their perspective, what is at the core of the phenomenon of Estonian LAE? This paper is based on the findings from explanatory single case study and discusses the meanings that LAE practitioners attribute to their experiences with the Nordic-Baltic cooperation. The paper shows how the meanings developed over the period of post-USSR, pre-EU independence during 1991-2004. Parsons’ model of social change was used to frame the period as moving the LAE system from one state of equilibrium to another. Focusing on the change in the meanings, empirical data was collected using two retrospective focus group interviews with 14 LAE practitioners and explored a variety of sources of secondary data from the time. Thematic and ethnographic content analysis methods were applied for data analysis, and results were presented in a case story. It appeared from the findings that three periods of apprentice, transformation and equality were distinguished. The temporal dimension of the phenomenon was further expressed in the metaphors, such as starter, sowing the seeds and sprouting. The new equilibrium found by 2004 was described as time for recognition of the main values; self-development; equal international cooperation and joint ventures; learning how to share experience. The practitioners experienced confidence and trust as main resources Estonian LAE used for Nordic-Baltic cooperation in adult education.

ostatnich dziesięcioleciach Estońska Liberalna Edukacja Dorosłych (LAE) otrzymywała wsparcie w ramach współpracy nordycko-bałtyckiej w obszarze edukacji dorosłych. Współpraca, oparta na prężnej sieci zawodowej, byłaby niemożliwa bez wkładu ze strony praktyków estońskiej LAE. Co z ich perspektywy leży u podstaw zjawiska, jakim jest estońska LAE? Niniejszy artykuł odnosi się do wyników studium przypadku i omawia znaczenia, jakie praktycy LAE przypisują swoim doświadczeniom współpracy nordycko-bałtyckiej. Artykuł ukazuje, w jaki sposób znaczenia te kształtowały się w okresie niepodległości po upadku ZSRR i przed członkostwem w UE, w latach 1991-2004. W celu ujęcia tego okresu jako przejścia systemu LAE z jednego stanu równowagi do drugiego wykorzystany został model zmiany społecznej Parsonsa. Koncentrując się na zmianie znaczeń, zebrano dane empiryczne za pomocą dwóch retrospektywnych zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych przeprowadzonych z 14 praktykami LAE oraz w drodze analizy danych zastanych z różnorodnych źródeł z owego okresu. W analizie danych posłużono się metodami tematycznej i etnograficznej analizy treści, a wyniki przedstawiono w ramach historii przypadku. Na podstawie wyników zostały wyróżnione trzy okresy: okres praktykanta, transformacji i równości. Czasowy wymiar zjawiska został dodatkowo przedstawiony w metaforach, takich jak początkujący, zasianie ziarna i kiełkowanie. Nowy stan równowagi, uzyskany do 2004 roku, został opisany jako czas na rozpoznanie podstawowych wartości, samorozwój, równa współpraca międzynarodowa i wspólne przedsięwzięcia, uczenie się dzielenia się doświadczeniem. Praktycy doświadczyli pewności siebie i zaufania jako głównych zasobów, wykorzystywanych przez estońską LAE w ramach współpracy nordycko-bałtyckiej w zakresie edukacji dorosłych.

The context of adult and youth education has become more diverse. The COVID-19 pandemic affected changes in practice and had a particular impact on the social positions of educators. This paper presents the findings from qualitative exploratory research that aims to explore and understand the social positions of educators. The paper presents key findings based on research questions: what are the social positions of educators before and during the COVID-19 in Estonia? This research applied the theoretical concept of positioning. Empirical data was collected in two stages using five focus groups and six individual semi-structured interviews with educators from non-formal learning settings. Data was analysed using thematic analysis and portrayal methods. Four positions and four interrelated modes of the social positions of educators were explored. Social positions appeared in educators’ values, beliefs, professional activities, dialogue, and reflections. The most valuable position for educators during the COVID-19 pandemic time was the position of being an equal partner which is the main basic interactive positioning mode for developing and maintaining social positions.
