Students will be provided with basic concepts of project management methodology; Each group will be then guided towards preparing a check list for initiating and planning a project; a stakeholder’s mapping to identify the specific vulnerable groups from the project’s perspective; to design activities, outputs and outcomes to deliver sustainable changes for the particular stakeholder(s); to identify the psychological support needs and appropriate interventions.

Each group of students will be given a case study to build the project proposal,which takes into account the added value of a psychological contribution, such as: addressing mental health awareness in prisons; the active involvement of men and boys in combating domestic violence and violence against women; addressing psychological consequences of violence against migrants through community intervention .

At the end each group will prepare a project description, a work-plan of activities and a budget. Measures to evaluate the impact and prospects of sustainability will be also discussed with experts in presence or online (from international organisations and civil society, or representatives of vulnerable groups).

All participants will contribute to the laboratory with their own personal and professional experience, as well as their cultural background
