Pro-multilingua. Leonardo Da Vinci : Transfer of innovation Project (R-1548)

For the new, extensive Europe there is currently a major challenge to create new tools to pave the way for a better understanding and better knowledge of its languages and cultures, in the broadest sense but also in the more limited meaning of corporate languages and cultures. A better understanding of languages and cultures makes the development of economic and human exchanges possible. PRO MULTI-LINGUA, which relies on the international research of Leomep (1998-2000), is aimed to integrate the Romanian language in the multilingual and intercultural module system (achieved during the European projects Leomep-Multi 2000-2003 and Com-IN Europe 2003-2005) and has business frameworks that do in international business as an audience. The 29 Plurilinguamodules, which form the base of this project, were extensively awarded by the EU for their purposiveness and are being promoted by professional associations, employersorganizations, educators and private companies. The proposed PRO-MULTI LINGUA Partnership distinguishes itself by the fact that teh competention areas of each team are inter-disciplinary and contain perfectly the relevant fields. The Romanian will be added, as well as source language and -culture as target language and -culture, and this in combination with German and French. This will facilitate the interaction in the field of economic activities between Romania and the European member states of the first generation and in particular with the countries that have French or German as one of their official languages(France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg). The choice for French and German answers to the Romanian economic reality:in recent years the French-speaking and German-speaking investors are clearly more interested in the Romanian market.
