(1)

Dear Potential Partners,

the SKILL SHORTAGE e:learning Proposal to @LIS CALL lanced by  the
LRE-EGOCreaNET of the “University of Florence” (2) aims to develop an EU-AL
Alliance keeping the Technological Information Society  and the changes of
global economy as well as an opportunity for improving the development of Human
Resource Potential.

1.2) VISION and FINALITY

The logical framework basis of the SKILL SHORTAGE pilot project for “e.learning
in cultural
diversity context”, will finalized to bridge the gap between intellectual
employment and the development of the post industrial society i.e. the Knowledge
driven Economy improving new options for intellectual career choices in
vocational and on the job permanent education .

Mission of the SKILL SHORTAGE pilot project  will be the development of   ITC
e-strategies of Net-Learning,  in order to innovate and mobilize  Knowledge
Management resources in a e.democracy way of development  that  will be the
richness of Nations in the III° Millennium

Working for the above mission the LRE/EGO-CreaNET is convinced that the mutual
interactivity  in shared knowledge society strengthening ties among inter
institutional public private  co-operation will extend the benefits of
Information Society ,  reinforcing  national and sub-national co-operation. The
above will be extremely useful  especially for SME’s development in Knowledge
Driven Society favouring investments and competition to extend benefits of
Information Society to all the population.

Therefore we look forward to implement an open network in e.learning  between
partners of Europe and Latin America emphasizing that the WWW  linkages for
powering the developmental dialogue among different cultures it will  generate
a strong effort to solve common   developmental endeavours .

NOTE 1:  Following the above finality the  Group LRE/EGO-CreaNET  would like to
send to “potential partners” the first BLUE PRINT for improving the Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) among partners that you can better and modify to find all
together a final e. Agreement .
A second Blue Print of the partnership e. agreement will be proposed for clarify
the participative methods  and rules for e.work improvement of intervention
strategies , see for instance a previous MoU e. agreement proposal developed for
another project Business Labour University for Electronic Society (BLUe.S) by
the LRE-EGO-CreaNET . (3)


1.3) OBJECTIVES

- FIRST BLUE PRINT  of strategic vision  for improving a preliminary  e.
agreement
among partners that after would like to debate and sign  the Memorandum of
Understanding  (2002/ 06/ 20)

  Specific objectives will be :

  °  Encouraging the Europe- Latin America co-operation  by means
establishing   public &  private alliances and on-line interconnection framework
among University and SME’s related to the development of the networking
knowledge management net –learning “e.strategies”  in cultural diversity
scenario based on a comparative international perspective.

  ° Bridging the gap between intellectual unemployment and  new professional
SKILL BUILDING in the field of vocational education and also in the field of

NOTE 2. : Status of the art ( 2002/06/20) REQUEST od the Partner’s LETTER OF
INTENT


Today (2002/06/20)  a primary goal for improving the @LIS SKILL SHORTAGE Pilot
project,  is to develop a partnership consortium very  motivated on the above
finality , mission and goals, for developing a framework complement criteria
on   innovative methods for skill building & leveraging in using WEB for
producing innovative educational modules and units for developing net.learning
programs for improving opportunities in   intellectual e. work in the context of
growing the   International KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN ECONOMY of  the Digital new Age.
In particular partners will be encouraged to build up and implement
“e.strategies “for an Europe & Latin America  "Community Partnership
Development,   between University and SME's Enterprises" aiming to foster a
shared  SKILL BUILDING futures for the KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN ECONOMY

It will be clear that at this preliminary stage of  the developmental procedure
of such complex challenge it will be impossible to establish priority areas in a
planetary basis because they need to be defined through a participate process
based on a solid analytical territorial basis of relevant issues for different
socio-economic and environmental sustainable objectives proposed by every
country partner.

Therefore the LRE/EGO-CreaNET of the University of Florence will to promote a
pilot project SKILL SHORTAGE with a large consensual basis for understanding the
short and long terms benefits of the net-working learning , therefore it is
greatly important that every country partner can express a proper vision of the
priority areas of Knowledge Management skill building and leveraging in a way
that the proper "sub-project"  must reflects  the country core identity values.

As a matter of facts this Project/ idea to develop an unity of aims in
networking e.learning pilot project considering and implementing cultural
differences tray to follow the general guidelines recently approved by OECD  ( 4
)

Therefore until now the LRE-EGO-CreaNET  proposes the present first BLUE PRINT
for developing a  Pilot Project “e.Learning in a Cultural Diversity “ @LIS –call
2002 , aiming to search for “EU - LA” open partnership

Now the LRE-/EGO-CreaNET Working Group (W.G.) is looking  that the working plan
specific contents areas of NET-LEARNING will be defined by the partnership
alliance , at the same time that partners all together  will be  able to
understand their roles responsibilities coming in the
Partnership "Steering Committee Group" for developing the complete proposal .

Hoping that all potential partner in address would like to agree to this
approach, so that the  W.G hopes to receive from all of you a "Letter of Intent"
to participate as well as effective partner of the "SKIL SHORTAGE " @LIS Pilot
Project.

For the above  GOAL the LRE/EGO-CreaNET W.G. need to receive as soon as possible
( and no more later than 30 June 2002)  the “Letter of Intent “ in the Head
paper of each potential partner
interested to develop a co-operative pilot project well as  effective partner.

In this “Letter of Intent” partners are asked to provide a detailed description
of their role in proposing a proper short detailed “sub-project idea”, finalized
to improve the SKILL SHORTAGE general proposal  previously described in the main
finalities in a way that it will be possible to forecast the  local
socio-economic benefices in a skill building an leveraging of knowledge
management co-operative strategy  among Latin American and European
“net-learning”
Alliance,  aiming to improve the thematic priorities  of science society
integration the
Knowledge Driven International Society.
