Project Design Fundamentals
A back-to-basics week with paper, markers and the group's own ideas: the classic project-design toolbox that every good proposal is built on, learned by hand before any software or AI enters the room. Participants leave with a complete design pack for a real project of their organisation.
Programme detail available in English.
In the training room

For whom

Why this course
A back-to-basics week with paper, markers and the group's own ideas: the classic project-design toolbox that every good proposal is built on, learned by hand before any software or AI enters the room. Participants leave with a complete design pack for a real project of their organisation.
Learning outcomes
- Build a problem tree and turn it into a solution/objective tree with a group of stakeholders
- Map beneficiaries with empathy maps and personas, and turn findings into needs statements
- Write a full logical framework (goal, outcomes, outputs, activities, indicators, sources, assumptions)
- Draft a Business Model Canvas for a project or social initiative and a realistic Gantt chart with milestones
Learning approach
Every ABARKA course is built with the same learning architecture we use in our own programmes and in the KA2 projects we coordinate. It is non-formal, practice-first and designed backwards from what the participant must be able to do on Monday morning back home.
Built on
ABARKA's 26+ Erasmus+ projects · Project Cycle Management practice in KA2 (I-PLAY, EmpowerHERment, ROOT) and local programmes (EGG, HARIAK) · ABARKA Project Writing Camp
Field visits and labs
Design a real case with an EGG participant or a local association; peer review of each design pack; Oiartzun municipal projects as examples of logframes in practice.
