That is why project development requires a commitment to a systematic, iterative process of assessment, design, implementation and evaluation, as it is a cyclical process in which the results of one phase become the starting products for the next phase.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of educational planning is to ensure the systematic accomplishment of a series of activities leading toward the achievement of set objectives of educational development.<\/p>\n<p>All envisaged practical activities and strategies that <a style=\"color: #019f87;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.materahub.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Materahub<\/a> will carry out and deliver during the training session for \u201c<em>Your educational project: Goal, Plan, Action!\u201d<\/em> module aim at guiding learners through the main steps of action needed to design an exciting and educational experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What are the activities to be undertaken?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Who will undertake them?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What resources will they consume?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What targets will they accomplish?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How will the success of these activities be evaluated?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The process of working out detailed answers for these questions so as to help implement the plan is the actual completion and elaboration of the innovative strategic visual framework <span style=\"font-weight: 800; color: #019f87;\"><em>Creative Project Canvas<\/em><\/span>, which, just like an artist\u2019s canvas, is a place to turn your educational project and creative inspiration into reality and share it with your team, audience and learners.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getclosetoopera.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Creative-Project-Canvas_EN_coloured-blocks.jpg\" alt=\"Creative Project Canvas Materahub\" width=\"842\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getclosetoopera.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Creative-Project-Canvas_EN_coloured-blocks.jpg 842w, https:\/\/www.getclosetoopera.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Creative-Project-Canvas_EN_coloured-blocks-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.getclosetoopera.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Creative-Project-Canvas_EN_coloured-blocks-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 800; color: #ec2445;\">The Creative Project Canvas is a strategic visual framework and reflection tool<\/span> made up of 9 themes including questions to help you clarify and reflect on your creative educational project.
