was developed a WEB application, called OPENNESS, which present information (documents and
images) regarding the implementation of the actions developed for strengthening the
understanding and developing the human values, in the democracy spirit and integration in a
Europe United. The WEB application is designed in five languages (Romanian, English,
Bulgarian, Germany and Hungary) with the possibility that every partner can read the information
posted in their own native language. The design of the WEB site was realized taking into account
the partners desires. The logo (from the graphic perspective) of the WEB site was designed to
suggest the semantic load of the existing information inside the website and is one that was took
from the project REMEMBER - Keep Alive The Past Memory for the Future, which benefited by
financial support from the European Union, in the same framework, the program “Europe for
Citizen”. Openness project is a continuation of this project REMEMBERS.
