This study aims to contribute knowledge about teachers' reflections on their own practice in "Folkbildning" activities for older adults and is based on Nordic-German Didaktik theory and the three main Didaktik questions: "why?, what?" and "how?." Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with teachers from different adult education associations. The study identified that the following purposes reflected by the teachers are connected with the "why" question: "enjoyment, critical inquiry" and "resocialisation." Three principles of the "what" question are "participants' interests, standards" and "plurality." Four principles relating to the "how" question are "students' active participation, teachers' distinct guidance, individualisation" and a "permissive environment." The results further indicate that teachers expressed two approaches about their own teaching practice. The first approach emphasises the elements of "Bildung," which involves critical thinking and questioning certain notions about the world, while the second focuses on socialisation and basic knowledge that is needed in society.
