All the staff and organizations of the Generativity project are proud to launch the online version of the he six training modules on Project Cycle Management in six languages: English, Italian, Polish, Greek, Dutch and French.

The modules cover all the fundamental issues to lead you through a learning path to Project Cycle Management.

These are the main topics:

module 0: introduction to generativity of new effective and sustainable project with the method of Project Cycle Management

module1: financial & programmatic priorities of the EU2020 strategy within various programs

module 2: how to structure an innovative and sustainable project idea

module 3: building an international, national, local partnership

module 4: submission procedures according to the guidelines of the European Commission

module 5: implementation, evaluation, valorization, dissemination, exploitation of project results

It was a great effort for us to implement the modules, and we are proud of the results which we achieved. In the next weeks we will finalize the modules in order for you to freely download them straight on your IT devices.

By offering them online, we take the opportunity to greatly thank all the professionals and the partner organizations that have worked on the implementation of the training modules for their great and valuable work of sharing their skills. A special thanks to the students of the University of Thessaly who tested our work.

Now it is your time: read the modules, and learn how to develop an effective and sustainable project!

We are working hard to meet the challenge of disseminating the training modules on project cycle management.

The partners implemented the six training modules out of an original concept of Paolo Brusa and Federica Cadeddu from Diciannove, then we tested them on our staff during a collective LTTA training event. After a precise evaluation about their share the pros-&-cons conducted by Dave Oborne from EEC, we re-worked them in order to maximize their efficacy in term of possible learners. The modules were divided among Diciannove, Danmar Computers, Cardet, EEC, University of Thessaly, KEA: we refreshed some slides; we modified others; we incorporated practical tips and suggestion; and we added notes to each slide to make them even more specific and exhaustive.

Then it came the time for the evaluation by the students of the University of Thessaly.

The last stage was run by Danmar Computers, who edited and refined them to be ready for the IT environment.

As we posted in the news, the Erasmus+ call 2018 is out, and we want to support the wider audience that will be interested in the development of new project ideas.

Three more days and you will find online the six training modules on Project Cycle Management in six languages: English, Italian, Polish, Greek, Dutch and French.

To be the first to receive the online publication of the six training modules, register on the “how to collaborate” link on the project website www.generativity.eu

let the countdown begins: … three … two …

It is now on line the PCM bibliography based on the research on relevant literacy on PCM carried on by Diciannove, Cardet, EEC, Danmar, FNARS and University of Thessaly in order to address the more innovative and efficient support, tools and path to PCM. 

The bibliography is the result of a desktop research and sharing of partners methodological references.

We suggest to start from the European Commission guidelines, which are the reference standard for what concern the project management under the Eu programs.

Where possible, there is the link to the authorised web reference.

It is structured in alphabetical order as follow:

→ general references and main guidelines: EU Commission

→ publications in English

→ articles in English

→ publications, articles and link in partners national languages: Italian, French, Polish, Greek and Cyprus

On may 18 Generativity project has been presented at the FEANTSA European conference in Gdansk (PL). Paolo Brusa lead the participants to the discovering of the basic principles of project cycle management. The Project Cycle Management is an approach to manage multiple projects or programs and to improve the quality of projects by learning from one project and applying the lessons in the following ones. To get familiar with its principles, the participants were asked to remember their younger time, and to work in sub-group to answer the question “how to make a party when you were 16?”. Participants were guided to the creation of a fictitious planning which passed through all the pcm phases: definition of the purposes for the party (background analysis and programming); invitation (creation of the partnership and identification); planning (preparation and formulation); cost evaluation (cost/benefit analysis, financing and budgeting); the party itself (implementation); evaluation of the impact after a given period (evaluation).

Next step was the presentation of the project in all its major aspects, including the ict platform already available, the training modules which will soon tested in Greece, the possibilities and facilities offered to the web-users, and the indication on how to collaborate and contact the project partners.

this platform is now linked with the main sources of information concerning to European calls and project management opportunities.
