“Could kids be Project Managers?”
Abstract
Would you like to make a difference and an impact on our society? Could it be that project management skills are powerful tools in school, besides the professional life itself?
In this session Boryana is going to reflect on PMI Bulgaria Chapter’s experience in program for social good. What questions bother kids who hear for the first time about project management? How small is needed to turn on the light of this critical skill for life? What amazing results have been achieved with a handful of volunteers ready to serve the community? Three success stories already written will be shown during this session.
Another focus for this session is the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation’s mission to enable youth to realize their potential and transform lives through project management. What new way of delivering value to youth PMIEF has chosen?
We all can use our Project Management knowledge and expertise to make a difference. We can help young people now, so they are well prepared for the coming future and better leaders!
