This document outlines the key elements to include in a project plan: Needs, Aims, Objectives, Methods, and Evaluation/Monitoring. It defines each element and provides examples. Specifically, it states that the Aim should be inspired by identified challenges and needs, influenced by possible responses, and the main purpose of the project. Objectives are the specific achievements and actions to reach the Aim - they are not a to-do list or plan of activities. Evaluation/Monitoring determines what happened, progress made, what succeeded and needs improvement, and if the Aim was reached.

1. Basic model of project steps
You project plan:
• N eeds – What needs of young people will be addressed?
• A ims – Why? The main reason
• O bjectives – What has to be reached?
• M ethods – How? The activities of the project? What is
the sequence of activities? Which one should be local and
which ones – international?
• E valuation/ Monitoring – What happened? What is
the progress? What went well and what needs to be
improved? Did we reach the aim?
