Step-by-step instructions
1
Introduction to the purpose
- Explain the objective of the project bank and the roles each participant will play.
- Present the basic rules for project presentations and resource allocation.
2
Project development
- Proponents work individually or in teams to develop their projects.
- They may use templates to structure their proposals, including:
- Problem or need: What issue does it aim to solve?
- Objective: What does it seek to achieve?
- Expected impact: What results are anticipated?
- Required resources: What financial or symbolic support is needed?
3
Presentation to the bank
- Each proponent presents their project to the group (or a designated committee), explaining their proposal within a time limit (e.g., 3-5 minutes).
- Evaluators or investors may ask questions to clarify any doubts.
4
Evaluation and resource allocation
- Evaluators rate projects based on predefined criteria (e.g., impact, feasibility, originality).
- Optional: Investors allocate symbolic resources to the projects they find most important or promising.
5
Analysis and feedback
- Evaluators discuss the results and provide feedback to the proponents.
- Selected or prioritized projects are announced.
6
Closing and future planning
- Facilitate a group reflection on the learnings from the activity.
- Establish concrete steps to implement or support the selected projects.
