“Building a Better Prepared Society” is one of the 3
areas of focus of PMI Educational Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization that champions project management for
educational and social good. This is about giving youth and communities a better chance of success
through training programs for teachers, youth and local schools.
On Saturday, 1st of December PMI Gdansk
Branch organized the second edition of project management training for educators. This workshops is a continuation
of PM at schools program run by PMI Poland Chapter in cooperation with PMI Educational
Foundation (PMIEF). A one day workshop took place in Gdynia in Thomson Reuters office and gathered 9 teachers from local schools
.
After a short introduction to the program and benefits of implementing
elements of project work to Polish schools two groups worked on the project
called „The Earth Day”. Regardless the same goal of the project each team took a
different approach.During a one day workshop a few documents such as a Project Charter, a WBS
and a schedule were created.
The
course was delivered by Marcin Gora, PMI Gdansk Branch volunteer and myself. At the end of the course each participant received a Certificate and
Project Management at Schools materials, including presentations for a 12 hour
project management course, mentoring materials and templates and group
exercises. These materials are to be used to deliver the project management courses
in middle schools.
PMI Poland Chapter planning more workshops for educators in other
regions of Poland, so more young people will have a chance to familiarize
themselves with projects and project management practices.If you have
any questions or would like to know more about the program please contact me on:

possibility of using the office premises. Thanks a lot.
