Working on projects

To work! This third chapter introduces the conceptual tools useful for approaching European project work in practice.

The following sections illustrate, in a practical way, the method for identifying a good project idea, detailing its key aspects and assessing its soundness, with diagrams and examples devoted to the main tools of europlanning.
