While referring to the notion of lifelong learning the authoress focuses on the pedagogical perspective of determinants and possibilities of biographical learning by individual social actors. In the article, the concept of learning is understood as a transformation of structures of experience, knowledge and acting within the context of people's life stories and their reality. By referring to the method of educational biography, the authoress describes stages and assumptions of her research-educational project. It was realized among part-time students in Zary in one of the newest vocational, non state-owned colleges, founded a few years back in the Polish-German borderland. Furthermore, the authoress characterizes the specificity of the borderland region, as well as the socio-professional situation of the participants - inhabitants of towns and villages of the region - whom she describes as 'non-traditional' students. In the article, the authoress presents the results of their written biographical narratives, focusing primarily on extracting and describing three different ways of giving meanings and purposes to learning found in Zary students' autobiographies.

The article was devoted to multidimensional changes to which Upper-Silesia has been subjected during two decades of transformation (1989-2009). They mostly consists in shifting the development of the region from industry to services sector. This type of changes also causes the regional social structure to be subjected to transformations. The number and significance of the working class, including mining, iron and steel industry workers, is decreasing and the middle class is gradually emerging. A mine and a foundry, icons of the old industrial region, are replaced by zonal firms, universities or colleges. A subtitle of the article refers, on the one hand, to one page of Józef Chalasinski's work in which he described national tensions in a factory settlement Kopalnia in 1934 (that is in Murcki - southern district of Katowice). On the other hand, the subtitle refers to Upper-Silesian Metropolitan Association, set up in 2007. It embraces 14 Silesian and industrial area cities, symbolizing arduous creation of a new social, spacial, ecological and economic quality. This is probably the decline of a traditional Silesian borderland region and the emergence of a mosaic region. The latter one combines heterogeneous societies of differentiated history and traditions, which have been located within the borders of Silesian region since 1999.
