Der Autor stellt acht zentrale Kriterien der Gestaltung kompetenzentwickelnder Lehre vor, die einerseits auf Basis einer Literaturrecherche und Beforschung, andererseits auf Erfahrungen im Bereich der Beratung und Gestaltung entsprechender Lernangebote in Bildungsinstitutionen fußen. Diese Kriterien dekliniert er anschaulich vor dem Hintergrund eines kleinen Lernangebotes durch, welches in der Erwachsenenbildung durchaus denkbar ist: einem Fotokurs für Anfänger.
Taking demographical development as a starting point, Turek identifies functions of political education. It should help to avoid the »clash of generations «.

A third of all families in Germany have a background of migration, which offers a great educational potential for family education. The author points out the increased risk situation of this heterogeneous group and warns against the misleading label as a »target group of particular circumstances«. She gives best practice examples and pleads for the intercultural opening of educational institutions.
Older people often lack the competences for the handling of digital media. This is problematic in a society which is more and more based on digital exchanges. Courses of continuing digital education for older people prove to be successful when they are embedded into their living environments.
