During the Summer Academy in Bratislava LDP Fellows finished a one day intensive training on Project Management and Group Activities. The session gave an introduction to basic Project management tools for small scale projects. The methods were presented and illustrated in the context of case examples.
Fellows were presented all phases of Project Management Cycle; during the Project Development session fellows were introduced to all tools for assessing needs, defining project objectives and approach after which they drafted their project proposals and defined roles in the team in the framework of Group Activities.
