Teaching Workshop: Project Management Methodology and Subsidised Finance Instruments for Territorial Enhancement.
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The implementation of territorial enhancement projects is often made difficult by the scarcity of financial resources available to the body/institution that designed them. The workshop aims to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to obtain European funds and other subsidised financial instruments.
Expected learning outcomes
Thanks to a methodological approach, in line with the project cycle management adopted by the European Commission, students should obtain a flexible working method adaptable to the various funding programmes offered at national and European level. At the end of the workshop students should be able to produce a project proposal that is coherent with the selected funding programme, both from the point of view of defining objectives and results and from the financial point of view (Logical Framework approach).

Teaching methods
The idea is to use different approaches depending on the theme and activities of the individual lessons:
- Frontal approach for the theoretical illustration of the institutional set-up of the European Union;
- Role Playing for the analysis of the logical tools useful for the construction of a Project proposal: problem analysis, objective analysis, swot analysis, logical framework;
- Laboratory teaching for the choice of funding programmes to be dealt with in more detail;
- Cooperative learning: realization of projects in small groups, with balanced division of tasks and final presentation to the teacher and the "adversary" group.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The assessment methods should also be integrated. First of all, the degree of interaction and attention during the lessons will be assessed: at the beginning of each lesson there will be a discussion on textual materials or videos provided to the students at the end of the previous lesson.
An intermediate group exercise and a final group test are planned.
