ACTION PROJECTS DEBUNKED

You have what feels like a million assignments due, how on earth are you going to fit in another project?

• Don’t feel overwhelmed – you may already be doing something that could be built on as an Action Project (think: work, volunteering or an existing Uni project?)

• Pick something you’re passionate about & it won’t feel like a project at all!

• The purpose of the Action Project is to provide an applied experience to build your leadership skills & confidence – this is something you can talk about when applying for your dream role!

• Start by researching your ideas and benchmark against projects that already exist or could inspire your own work. If there are local projects in the area that are similar to your own project concept, could you reach out to understand the ways you can contribute to a pre-existing project?

• PLAN! Define your objectives  Explain the scope  Schedule & prioritise tasks.

• Come along to an Action Project drop-in session to collaborate, share ideas & check on your progress. Keep on eye in the ‘Action Projects’ Slack channel for updates on sessions.
