Quality Plus It is evident and clear that too many organisations around Europe have received funding for projects that end almost as soon as the funding stops. Although there might be a good reason for this and therefore there may be some exceptions to this, for ourconsortium these represent poor projects. Another common mistake is the poor definition of the role of the youth worker, usually organizations make the mistake to assign to any youth worker the tasks and activities designed for a project manager without a previous specific training. ................................. Quality Plus (QP) is a 13 months Strategic Partnership (SP) of non- profit organizations, funded by AKTIV UNGDOM – Norwegian National Agency for ERASMUS+ Progamme of European Union. QP focuses on promoting high- quality youth work aiming to provide youth workers all the necessary knowledge and Project Management (PM) tools to prove the benefits of PM methodology and depict situation of the awareness and usage of different PM methodologies and tools in non-profit sector. ................................. The project foresees two intellectual outputs, one training events and local workshop and dissemination activities. In the project training events will participate 16 participants and indirectly more than 2,000 people will benefit from local workshops, local trainings, new projects, et. The training events will be aiming to share best practices, methodologies and to empower the participants to raise their projects impact and to produce a sustainable effect on young people. We expect to have several follow-up projects by using the knowledge acquired throughout the training activities. ................................................. The project will be managed in a collaborative way, based on collective intelligence and regular communication. The following methodology will be applied: Plan, Do, Check, Act. This aims to constantly monitor the project advancement and to ensure permanent quality improvement. This methodology also mean that steps must be realized in time bound manner as any lateness or missing parts can have direct influence on other people work.
