Introduction

Nowadays, the word project appears as overused. There is a visible tendency of organizing various activities under this umbrella. Could this be just a simple trend? Or is it something special about projects?

Many people are involved in different kinds of projects. A special field is the education. A vital component of the society is represented by the participants to educational activities. Teachers, pupils, students are nowadays involved in many projects.

The relationship between education and development is a two-way road. On one hand, the socio-economic development implies important transformations in educational field, but, on the other hand, the human abilities discovered and enhanced by education offer solutions for the future global problems.

The present paper addresses the organization, development and management of educational projects from a practical point of view. Instead of splitting the theoretical aspects and concrete applications, the structure of this dissertation paper follows the classical phases of any project.

The first part introduces the main idea of the paper, that of realizing a project that helps other projects. A project plan is drafted.

The second part deepens the ideas presented in the first chapter and details specific procedures and techniques applicable to the area of educational projects. The execution phase of our project deals with important issues in project field: setting up, managing and analyzing.

The final part, the completion, resumes the main characteristics of project designing, again insisting on practical issues. Special sections are dedicated to analyzing, evaluating and presenting the results. In the third part we also draw conclusions

We should emphasize on the fact that this paper is intended as a practical approach. The project idea is presented at the beginning but the details are filled in the second and third parts. We should specify that choices of techniques have been made for this specific project. Moreover, in order to simplify the wording we have designated �educational project’ by �project’, especially in the second and third parts of the paper.
