Abstract	This booklet, which was produced as a follow-up to the Fifth International Conference on Adult Education, examines communication among minorities and nonminorities in adult education programs. The booklet begins with a sketch of the situation of minority group members around the world and a list of 10 ways education policy and legislation can advance minority rights. Discussed next is the importance of allocating resources for education so that the different levels of need and different barriers in areas are taken into account. The importance of recognizing minorities' learning systems is underscored. The following are among the eight recommendations for adult learning by and for minority communities: (1) include minority knowledge, culture, language, religion, lifestyle, and history in curricula in a manner promoting mutual respect and understanding between communities; (2) recognize the role and value of minorities' traditional out-of-school learning processes; (3) link educational activities with minorities' local economy, geography, and demography; (4) teach through different media; and (5) promote minorities' participation in an active learning environment. Concluding the booklet are lists of six elements of intercultural learning, nine formal and informal methods of intercultural adult learning, and three areas of follow-up in adult learning. (MN)
