This article addresses the issue of design, organization and implementation of adults' learning and education contents from a curricular perspective in formal and non-formal education. It bases a concept and the structure of contents for adults' learning and education related to the fields, profiles and types of formal and non-formal activities, in which adults are included. It identifies a set of principles and procedures specific to the organization of contents in the diversification of forms, technologies and purposes of adults' training and education. Emphasis is placed on the organization and structuring of contents in relation to the form of educational process' organization (formal-non-formal education), the type of learning and education (professionalization, lifelong vocational training, qualification, retraining, personal development, etc.); projected/expected outcomes, largely determined by the educational needs of adults. At the same time, the results of a study on the perception of different types of learning and education content of different categories of adults are described. The results of study provide useful information on the selection of learning content in relation to the needs of adults.
