  • Abstract
    Recent advances in Information Technology and associated digital, wireless communications system have created plethora of knowledge within the European Union. However there is still distinct lack of formalised structure of storing and disseminating this knowledge for a variety of geographical, economical, and societal reasons. This presentation aims to show a feasibility of a two pronged effort to exploit these opportunities. Firstly by creating a self-learning environment for the dispersed multilingual and multicultural society, with various levels of computer and IT literacy with directed on-line support. Secondly by using the state of the art technology to help mobility and tourism to create a harmonized society and to generate and encourage a peer-learning environment.
