MANAGEMENT OF CROSS-BORDER PROJECTS
the organisation of the kick-off meeting of your cross-border project
This training module is part of a Training Course for project managers of cross-border projects developed by the CBN within the Pat-Tein project .
The Course aims to give the participants the possibility to enter in, analyse in depth and make practice of all the phases of the life cycle of a cross-border project: identification and definition of the idea, establishing the partnership, planning, implementation and assessment.
The present Module focuses one important moment of the “Implementation phase”:
the kick-off meeting.
One of the most important rules to learn and keep in mind for working with others in a positive and successful way is “starting in the right way”. The kick-off meeting is the most important occasion (because the first!) for establishing TRUST and CREDIBILITY among the cross-border partners.
This module aims to make the participants able to organise the kick-off meeting of a cross-border project with Austrian, Italian and Slovenian participants paying particular attention to the intercultural aspects.
