A draft is a set of ideas, plans and actions that are developed in a coordinated manner with the objective of achieving the fulfillment of an objective. Community , meanwhile, is what is associated with a community (the group of human beings or countries that have interests in common).
The notion of Community project refers to the activities that are carried out to solve a trouble or palliate a deficit The members of a certain social group suffer. Typically, this kind of project is driven by the own people They have to solve the issue.
Community projects are part of the social projects , which are intended to improve people's lives through the satisfaction of their basic needs. The specificity of community projects is that they are usually designed, developed and specified by neighbors.
Suppose the children who are part of the kids soccer team of a club of neighborhood should always train the fresh air , since the institution does not have a roofed gym. This reality means that they must withstand low temperatures in the winter or cannot practice when it rains. Among the club members, they devise a community project: build a Enclosure closed for workouts. In this way, they ask for donations of materials and lift the gym.
Another example of a community project is one that performs a building society to raise awareness among young people about the risks of consuming drugs . Through open talks, visits to schools and posters on public roads, the entity develops a community campaign for children and adolescents to take care of their health and stay away from vices.
The development of a community project begins at the stage of diagnosis , which consists of an in-depth analysis of the situation of the community and the problems that prevent its correct development. For the resolution of the conflicts found during this phase you can choose any of the following paths, or both at the same time: determine tools and resources that they will be necessary for work, get them and get to work; teach techniques and activities to the community itself to actively participate in the project.
As expected, the list of problems and obstacles arising from the community diagnosis must be ordered hierarchically , so that it is possible to serve them one by one, as the necessary resources become available. When the people at the head of the community project ignore this procedure and embark on the utopian task of overcoming all the pitfalls at once, greatly increase the chances of failure, wasting efforts and tools They've got.
Community diagnosis is essential, as it not only provides information about those issues that must be resolved, but also allows us to explore in depth the fundamental aspects of a society . Some of the features that every group should know before starting to develop the community project are the following:
* the history : How to help a society overcome its problems if we do not know its past, if we do not remind you that it has been able to get ahead in earlier times?
* infrastructure : not all communities have the services that we usually consider basic. The lack of drinking water, bridges or sanitation systems is reason enough to plan a community project;
* economy : Just like history, the economic aspect of a territory can also provide us with tools to solve problems by taking advantage of their strengths.
