It is necessary to evaluate the learning context and individual characteristics of learners to understand the adult learning process. In this study, adult learning processes at non-formal situations according to Kolb´s model (1984) are described, considering its variability according to individual characteristics. Variability in adult learning processes was found, with socio-laboral conditions and risk trajectories playing a relevant role. These results are discussed, and methodological implications for planning adult learning experiences are highlighted.

Keywords : adult learning; non formal education; learning style.
