The HOPE project centers around the competencies and skills required for working as a project manager in the community development sector, on both a European as well as an international level. Given the key function project managers acquire in the whole process of a project, defining a set of necessary skills is crucial to guarantee success and satisfaction. By entailing a training-based approach, the HOPE project aims to not just identify, define and value these skills of community development managers, but also to strengthen these by creating innovative on- and offline trainings.

The project is directed to future and current coordinators of developmental projects.

For future coordinators (job seekers and people in the vocational training area), it promotes their employability and ensures high quality of their future jobs, while for current coordinators it ameliorates already existing competencies and enhances their professional evolution.
