The main objective of the ELECT project is to create a mechanism for multicultural distance learning to help creators and managers of SME's to promote their activities at national level but also with an eye to the international context, particularly the one which will emerge following the forthcoming enlargement of the European Union. The project is aimed at two target groups: an intermediary target group comprising trainers and promoters of e-learning and a final target group composed of creators and managers of SME's. The results include developing and adapting a suitable technical environment, i.e. an open cultural platform which is available in FR, EN and RO and modular courses which allow the target group to create individual learning paths. The project will also involve developing training modules for trainers and the entire project will be evaluated in the form of 50 to 60 projects involving the creation of SME's by the target group itself. A website will help to disseminate the results. ELECT will enable managers of SME's to have a better understanding of the parameters associated with the European context and will thus contribute to the creation of a European enterprise culture.
