This paper intends to examine the process of realization of the General Plan for integrated lifelong learning in the Region of Tuscany. The plan is influenced by the idea of the Strategy of European Commission for development of human resources. It is said that the Tuscany's Regional Law is one of the model of integration and innovation of education policy in Italy, because all the fields of education and training for infants, youth and adults are treated together in this Law. It is remarkable that the system and procedure of "community governance" is introduced to the process of the realization of the Plan, so that the three subjects of Region, prefectures and cities agree and work together to promote the projects on the basis of participation of social partners. In a decade from 1990's, the situation of the promoting system for adult education has gradually changed not only at the Regional level but also at the local level. Especially it is noted that the experimental process of introduction of study circle from northern Europe into the Region has provoked discussion about new profile of staff like tutors and new methodology of self-education. It seems that the traditional adult education system and associationism are also influenced by these innovations. In this paper I focused on the significance of the development of adult education network supported by different agencies and the policy of supply- demand model inspired by the Region's Plan.
