The paper aims to present the process and partnership building in multicultural project teams through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) taking into account the Cultour+ communication project management plan to build virtual teams. CULTOUR+ is a Strategic Partnership (SP) of universities, local governments, SMEs and NGOs, that following the mainlines of the Higher Education Modernization Agenda, will offer high quality and innovative courses and tools, integrating innovation, international mobility and cross-border cooperation to enhance capacity building in higher education curricula in the fields of cultural tourism and hospitality, cultural management and shared cultural heritage. This paper aims to enhance the effective use of ICT in project work by analyzing the way it fits in with various project activities having as an example the Cultour+ project. This approach may facilitate the choice of appropriate tools by each project team and show how ICT can support key processes like leadership, management, communication and co-operation within other European project teams.

This paper presents the research approach designed for EScAlADE, an EU funded project that sees the participation of five European countries and focuses on adult participative e-learning. EScAlADE aims at investigating about the educational needs of adults (range: 50-65 years) involved in e-learning programs. This paper reports on the projects methodology and on the necessity of educational strategies able to provide adult trainees with the skills required by the labor market.

This article explores the features of assessments which Russian managers used when they asked to assess the aged subordinates' professional performance. We studied, how the manager prefer to assess aged professionals' planning, control and work process. To reconcile aged professionals work experience and organizational changes the Matrix of competitiveness of work experience (Matrix CWE) proposed., Эта статья исследует особенности оценки российскими руководителями среднего возраста деятельности пожилых специалистов. Изучаюсь оценка руководителями особенностей планирования, контроля и организации работы пожилых специалистов. Для того, чтобы помочь таким работникам согласовать их опыт работы с организационными изменениями и эффективно обучать пожилых работников предлагается использовать матрицу конкурентоспособности профессионального опыта (CWE).

The impact and significance of a training process may not be easily noticeable in the short term, and is difficult to track in the long term. This is more common when training targets are acquiring positive attitudes and competences (i.e. environmental awareness) rather than specific technical procedures. Thus, such training requires specific evaluation tools for quantifying the degree of achievement the objectives. Microteaching is a training methodology characterized by brevity and flexibility, which focuses in promoting active learning and evaluating its long-term impact (including performance indicators). The methodology was developed during two European projects (Leonardo da Vinci Programme (Overschie,2006; Pérez-Moya, 2008, www.microtrainingsupport. eu/). This methodology was applied in two case studies for validating the assessment procedure developed. In both cases, the focus was improving performance of their Environmental Management System (EMS): Company A - Private company. Industrial electronics sector. - Objective: improving the communication between departments, detecting elements subject to the “continuous improvement” statement associated to the EMS application. - Initial status: ISO 14000 certification. - Proposed working group: Department managers and management team (including the general manager). Organization B - Public organization. Higher Education sector. - Objective: improving the communication between staff and wake up interest in EMS. - Initial status: lack of environmental management certification - Proposed working group: technical staff (department head was not attending the sessions).The application of the training and assessment methodologies is described for both cases. Finally, the actions resulting from the training and the corresponding outcomes are presented and both experiences are discussed regarding these results.
