PROJECT CAFÉ - PROJECT CREATION FROM INSPIRATION TO ACTION

Outcomes of Project Café:

• Project evaluation tools
• Ideas implementing projects sustainably; drafting follow-up project concepts
• Internationalisation of projects
• Identifying organisational and regional challenges supporting volunteers in realising project ideas (drafting first recommendations to SCI/CVS in order to overcome organisational and regional challenges)
• Tips and tricks on projects with asylum seekers and refugees, social inclusion and social entrepreneurship. 
• Develop own concepts of a project, including needs and risks assessment, project writing, funding, implementation, visibility/PR, monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment.

We want to support you to develop your ideas, realise your own project and to implement it in your local community and/or organisation. We are open to support any form or idea in a broad “project” sense. For example, we can imagine supporting you to organise youth exchanges, local activities, local or regional campaigns.
