Globalisation and internationality, competition and knowledge, mobility and transnational experience - these are some of the
keywords dominating our new millennium. Human resources, personal qualification and life long learning is our platform concerning
these worldwide challenges. Our society pretends to be open, based on an social, humanistic and democratic structure, enabling
to every individual to develop his/her personal and intellectual capacities and to present an adequate surrounding. Reality
is far away: our daily experience around us and the news transported from everywhere of our globe — not only the difference
between the northern and southern hemisphere, countries in west and east, but as well the exclusion of special groups like
elder people, un- or semi-skilled people, women and handicapped characterise our actual situation. The scissors of those having
access and those being segregated as fringe groups diverge and seem to be accepted as fatalistic.
