PROJECT FACTORY The bullet points
When we develop a
Those bullet points are:
good quality project for young people, we have to think about several things that are very important and can make the project better, sustainable and successful.
- what is the important topic or problem this project is working on? - why you want to carry this project out? - title!? - target group? - where and how long will the project take place? - budget: how much you need and who will support you?
- learning outcomes: what do you want to achieve? - visibility: how will you promote it? - sustainability: how you will keep the project alive? How will you achieve the multiplier effect?
