Abstract
Owing to intense changes in educational demands in a globalized world and demographic shifts in almost all developed countries, structures and content of educational and vocational training have to adapt. Specificity refers to the need for a broad‐based education, allowing people to train for more than one occupation. In terms of content, social skills must be taught to embrace diversity. Educational institutions need to be open for all stages in the life course. Moreover, possibilities of disconnecting time and space owing to progress in educational media need to be explored.
