Leonardo's Multilingual Engineers Project

The project is based on the results of a structured evaluation of needs carried out during a previous project under the Leonardo da Vinci programme. The responses provided by a representative sample of senior technical managers meant that two prototype learning modules in the field of multilingual and intercultural communication could be created in response to the needs identified.

This multiplier effect project proposes to incorporate these prototypes into an integrated multimedia environment, and develop 16 other linguistic and cultural learning models, for publication on the Internet.
In all, the project will produce 18 interactive modules in seven source languages, namely French, Dutch, English, Spanish, German, Hungarian and Polish.

The project has three target languages: French, German and Dutch. Including these modules in initial training exercises should facilitate the mobility and integration of young graduates.
