GOAL/PURPOSE/AIM

ESTABLISHING THE GOALMETHODOLOGY

S.M.A.R.T.

SIMPLE – the goal should be to the point, understandable, and not leaving place for interpretationMEASURABLE - it should be formulated in such a way that the level of its achievement can be stated in figures, or at least so that there are clear criteria of its attainment ACHIEVABLE - realistic; one that is too ambitious undermines your faith in achieving it, and at the same time it destroys your motivation RELEVANT – the goal should be an important step forwards, as well as it should be important for the person striving to achieve itTIMELY DEFINED – the timespan/deadline of attaining the goal should be well defined

GOAL TYPES

• Short-term:

• - achieved during or just after the implementation of the project

• - temporary

• - the effects are not stable

• Long-term:

• - long-lasting or constant

• - achieved, or lasting long after the project has been implemented

• - the effects are long-lasting

ACTIONS/ACTIVITIES

What are the particular actions by means of which I will achieve my goals?

What activities are necessary to conduct my project? What are the future actions going to be?What are the future stages/elements of my actions? What are the goals of each element of my actions? What types of action do I choose?Are the forms chosen by me appropriate for my

participants/recipients?

Is a theatrical play a goal or is it an action?

What is the target group of my actions (age, social group, sex, interests, place of residence…)

How big is the group going to be?Why is this my target group?Are the actions I have chosen going to be

attractive/interesting to them?

RECIPIENTS

• Direct recipients (e.g. participants of workshops) – involved in the implementation, benefit from the effects

• Indirect recipients (e.g. local authorities, recipients of the promotional activities, teachers…) – passive recipients

Who is going to implement the project?How am I going to divide the

responsibility?What qualifications do the implementers

of the project and its subsequent elements need?

IMPLEMENTERS

number of events, the number of publications What is it that I want to achieve? If my goal is to change something, what is it that I

want to change? Is my project going to change something: In my beneficiaries lives My organization Or is it going to play a role in a bigger social change? What am I afraid of? What is going to be the indicator of the effects of my

actions – how will I measure them? What will happen once my project is implemented?
