The recent world crisis has created preconditions for a new paradigm, a new epoch of creativity and enterprise. In the process of change, new economic and social models are developing. To ensure a new era of prosperity, it will be essential to have a system of education and development able to mobilise and exploit human creativity. In these conditions forms of education, cooperation or partnership which can actively develop the creative spirit to provide an open, dynamic, human- oriented professional environment must be promoted.
