Course Title: Making Projects Happen
It doesn’t matter what the project is, careful planning
makes all the difference!
Included in this practical workshop are some useful prompts
- to make sure you are proposing a specific, sustainable service
or development which your community has shown it demands.
Work this through a sequence of stages - to ensure that the
job is do-able and relates to external agency requirements.
Then find some useful ideas to help with the reporting back.
To get the most out of the day and make it as helpful as possible,
bring notes of your scheme with you - and go home with some
good work done!
