Just a few days are missing for the publication online of the training modules on Project Cycle Management that we have developed within the Generativity project. The partners implemented the six training modules out of the original concept that I developed some years ago with Federica Cadeddu.  The modules were tested with the project staff during a collective, intensive 5-days training event.  After a precise evaluation conducted by Dave Oborne from EEC, we re-worked them in order to maximize their efficacy.  Then the modules were divided among the most experienced project partners: Diciannove, Danmar Computers, Cardet, EEC, University of Thessaly, KEA. 

The deadlines, the application details & the 2018 Programme Guide of the Erasmus+ 2018 Call for Proposals are now available online on the E+website .    The available documents are: the 2018 Erasmus+ Call for Proposals is the overview document with the deadlines for 2018 the Erasmus+ Programme Guide contains detailed information on project rules, funding levels and application processes for Erasmus+ funding

The  Generativity project keeps going in its working process. It is now on line the  bibliography based on the research on relevant literacy on  Project Cycle Management (PCM)  carried on by the project partners with more experience and skills, such as Diciannove, Cardet, EEC, Danmar, KEA and University of Thessaly in order to address the more innovative and efficient supports, tools and paths to PCM. The bibliography is the result of a desktop research and sharing of partners methodological references. Where possible, it offers the direct links to the authorised web reference.

Generativity is a project to share skills & knowledge on writing, submitting & implementing effective & sustainable projects, offering bibliography, training modules, tutorials on PCM (Project Cycle Management), and updates on new calls.  So far we have produced six training modules on PCM:

The “I dig stories” project came to its conclusion. For all participating partners, it was a fantastic & wonderful adventure where we learned to use digital storytelling as a new method of work.  We’ve tested it on us & our colleagues. We have developed the first complete Guide to digital storytelling methodology. We applied the lesson-learnt in many workshop that partners run in several European countries. We received valuable advices from those who participated to the workshops. We built the toolkit with these feedback, in order to foster the practical application of digital storytelling, so that others can develop & conduct their own digital storytelling workshops.

The most practical way to realize the power & the potential of the digital storytelling , its effects on ourselves & on others, is to experience it. The  project  " I dig stories - stories educational learning facilities " offers a direct approach to the methodological & experiential view of digital storytelling. Digital storytelling is a wonderful narrative, plastic and flexible tool, adaptable and applicable to various different contexts such as educational, didactic, clinical and community work.

the project   GENERATIVITY: MANAGE IT!   keeps moving on in its implementation. Between Monday 12th and Friday 16th June 2017 all project partners met in Syros (EL) for a Short-Term Joint Staff Training Activity. These have been five days of training on Project Cycle Management, during which the participants tested the training modules on PCM that has been build in a draft beta version. The training days are scheduled on a precise program: the more skilled partners chaired each day with the main theme of the day, while other partners will receive and validate the training and the lessons learnt. 

On may 18 Generativity project has been presented at the FEANTSA European conference in Gdansk (PL). The participants were conducted to the discovering of the basic principles of project cycle management. The Project Cycle Management is an approach to manage multiple projects or programs and to improve the quality of projects by learning from one project and applying the lessons in the following ones.
