Socio-Cultural Planning for the Non-Profit Sector
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
This professional skills workshop aims to develop and strengthen specific cross-cutting skills. The abilities learned will help students through their education and enable them to acquire an initial toolkit of skills for a given professional field. These also include the general interpersonal and communication skills that are required for the world of work.
Expected learning outcomes
The professional skills workshop uses interactive and participative teaching methods to develop specific knowledge and skills in selected professional fields. This didactic approach aims to strengthen teamworking, knowledge sharing and problem-solving abilities, while also helping students to practically apply the skills and knowledge they have gained previously within a specific practical setting.
The workshop is open to a limited number of participants, enabling the organisation and monitoring of individual and group work so as to create the best possible opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and understanding gained.
Participants will gain an awareness of the workshop's underlying themes, giving them a grounding from which to form their own personal opinion on the topic at hand.

Introduction to the workshop.
2) The subjects of socio-cultural design (associations, organisations, foundations, etc.). Who can respond to calls for funding for socio-cultural projects? This session is dedicated to exploring and analysing some of the collective subjects that can take advantage of this possibility.
3) The commissioning of socio-cultural projects and funders. Every socio-cultural project can have clients and funding actors. In this session we will address the funding of socio-cultural projects (at local, national and European level) and define some deliverables for group project design.
4) Calls for projects (with case studies).
5) The feasibility study (analysis of application contexts, work processes, human and material resources needed to carry out the project, etc.). How to create an effective socio-cultural project? What is the socio-cultural value of the proposed project? Who are the beneficiaries and what impact can the proposal have on the individual/community/specific sector?
6) Designing and writing a socio-cultural project. How to write an application for a call for proposals? In this session, exercises will be carried out to identify strengths and weaknesses in project writing.
7) Writing a project budget.
8) Practical application: deliverables for the final project. Students will be asked to put themselves to the test by designing their proposal, following some guidelines provided by the trainers.
9) Critical discussion and peer review of the projects.
10) Debriefing of the workshop
