The educational inclusion of adult immigrants is a
goal that requires the personalization of education and training paths, both in
terms of supply and methodological approaches. In sub-Saharan Africa, school
education is not always accessible to everyone, but a tradition of education
and lifelong learning is maintained, which is achieved through social and
collective life, during daily life or in formalized situations, such as rites
of passage and ceremonies. The article presents a theoretical reflection on the
use of orality in the lifelong education of sub-Saharan Africa, with the aim of
proposing a narrative approach of the pedagogical paths of sub-Saharan adult
immigrants, which take into account the context and the ways in which they
built their knowledge and the representation of their own self.
