In the past weekend about 40 WBAA-nians & collaborates (from
Bosnia&Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania and North
Macedonia) from various parts of the Higher Education ecosystem in the
WESTERN BALKANS gathered to CO-CREATE some MAGIC TOGETHER, in the
enchanted MOLIKA forest in Bitola, the south of North Macedonia 
;)
The topic in discussion: how to develop successful project proposals
for external funding - was delivered in a novel three-concept
instructional design: STRATEGY, TACTICS and OPERATIONAL aspects.
On
the side of the participants: DIVERSE backgrounds, languages, career
stages, employers, ambitions, expectations, ideas, plans - UNIFIED
through the precious REGIONAL component of WBAA.
On the side of the
trainers: abundant CAPABILITIES such as National Agency expertise,
academic, governmental and non-governmental experience, project
evaluation capacities and financial and business practitioners.
The
overall workshop impressions: HARDWORKING, condensed and heavy
informational workflow - in line with the vibrant composition of the
participating young intellectuals! All towards building bridges,
co-creating value together, uncovering the ‘magical’ ELEMENTS that go
much more beyond filling the proposal forms towards producing idea on
top of idea for the network/consortium, alignment with priorities,
dynamic re-configuration, working out own project examples, coaching,
making video tutorials and repository of materials for the virtual
exchange and broader impact, creating webinars per funding lines,
donating the props (like the map, the heart, …) to a primary school,
choosing honesty, integrity and clarity personally and for our teams, …
The INNOVATIVE cherry on the cake: Project Management TACTICS in a
SCOUTING GAME in Enchanted Forest - exhibiting and experiencing a
project beginning-to-end capturing main tactical management principles,
through the symbolical frameworks of the scouts -> finding OUR TRUE
NORTH on the compass of our lives.
CREATED and organised from and
for WBAA-nian VOLUNTEERS & PARTNERS, made possible by the WBAA
internal projects funding, ‘equipped’ with comprehensive managerial
reasoning, we, as MOTIVATED, NETWORKED, INSPIRED YOUNG PROFESSIONALS,
PROMISED to “work on a project proposal / or be involved in one in the
upcoming year, for the better future of us all”!
Check out what the
camera captured, enjoy the teaser video for the tactical scouting game
and hang on for more of our magical impact!
