Promoting Projects: Tell Your Story

It’s especially important to share how you overcame any challenges, the lessons you learned, and tips for how other people can best approach similar projects. After watching this video, you will be able to:

1. Understand the connection between telling a good story and increasing Rotary’s visibility
2. Identify effective tactics to promote your projects
3. Use different tools to tell your story at every stage of the project

Planning a Project: Design for Results

Well-planned projects are more likely to have positive and sustainable results. Every community has its own strengths and challenges, so the best approach is to work closely with people from the various groups that have a stake in the outcome. After watching this session, you’ll be able to:

1. Understand the importance of starting with a community assessment
2. Develop an effective project plan with a focus on being able to measure your results
3. Understand what’s needed to ensure that your project is sustainable
