Abstract: Out-of-school learning (OSL) practices within the scope of lifelong learning (LLL) are essential elements of contemporary educational systems, with both Türkiye and Poland implementing initiatives to promote it. Strengthening OSL practices can increase education accessibility and improve societal competencies. A comparison between Türkiye and Poland allows for understanding the differences and similarities in approaches to education beyond the classroom walls. However, their approaches may differ due to their unique cultural, economic and social contexts. The results show that OSL practices within the scope of LLL can be adapted in different ways, such as informal, non-formal, experiential, technology-enhanced, or community engagement, etc. Both countries have commonalities in OSL practices, such as cultural heritage, non-formal education programmes and community-based initiatives. However, their unique contexts and digital integration also shape their approaches. Both countries continue to invest in OSL initiatives to promote skills development and social inclusion.
