Social projects, the ideas of which were brought to life, can be distinguished primarily by the priority goal that they pursue. Secondly, they differ in the degree and quality of influence on the life of society.

To be fair, it is worth noting that ideas for social projects cover many areas human life. It is not always possible to maintain the “ideality” of priority goals.

Priorities and goals

Social projects, the ideas of which can be called truly social, have priority goals, as is generally believed, a significant improvement in the life of society. For example, during the summer season in many cities, active and enterprising people organize and have been successfully carrying out a project called “Running” for several years now. Its essence is discussed in more detail below, but now it is important to mention the results. In just one million-plus city, more than 100,000 people voluntarily took part in this kind of project. More than half of the people reached the finish line, having run more than 300 kilometers in total in 3 months! Social projects whose ideas receive such a response really change the life of society for the better.

One can only imagine how many people have become healthier, what beneficial influence impacted on the younger generation by running parents or relatives. As a result of participation in the project, many people develop the useful habit of taking care of themselves and their health systematically. They will also have new like-minded friends, with whom it will be easier and more fun to move forward.

"Antisocial" project

“Trolleybus of Happiness” - this is the name of the “social” project implemented in practice, which even occupied prizes in a competition on this topic. Its stated goals are to modernize the higher education system by developing an ecosystem of innovation.

The project managers, based on the published information, set themselves rather prosaic tasks. By implementing the “Trolleybus of Happiness”, they wanted to intensify the educational process, conduct training for masters and publicly defend themselves in a competition for similar projects.

What's the reality

In fact, the university turned to the city electric transport with a proposal: “Let’s decorate your trolleybuses with the help of our students, and together we’ll call it all a social project?” No sooner said than done. 4 trolleybuses were allocated, students in free time They designed them for free, invited musicians, wrote to the press - done! 4 colorful trolleybuses, really beautiful, travel around the city and are mobile mini-exhibitions of various themes - festive, romantic, patriotic...

How has life in the city changed? In principle, no way. How did the energy and money spent by people, students, and teachers modernize the higher education system? In principle, no way. How did the system of eco-innovation develop with the help of a trolleybus that has been around for over 100 years? It is not known for certain. Has it improved significantly as a result? It’s hardly possible to say so.

General Alternative

“Run” is one of the real projects that could be called truly social. Its essence is that a person who wants to run in the morning registers in social networks. He makes a certain small monetary contribution and then runs for 100 days in a row.

After each lesson, according to the rules of the project, you must post your “in progress” photos and the chosen route. In the absence of such “evidence” data, the participant was excluded without a refund. Of course, the rules also provided for such various small details as skipping a run on good reason and other similar points, but the basic rules are as simple as two and two.

After the project, the available amount of money was divided among the remaining participants. Interestingly, they received back an amount that was 50% greater than the deposited amount. After the project, many did not abandon their useful habit and continued to run in established groups without a project, waiting for the next mass “race.” So, with the help of the project, people became healthier, society united, and a good example was set for the younger generation.

More examples

“Nochlezhka” and “Virtual Market” are social projects, the ideas and examples of which could also be classified as truly social. They are implemented with funds from charitable organizations and with the use of young people.

The first project is a network of homeless shelters. A map has been created that shows specific addresses of places where you can eat, spend the night, or receive medical or legal assistance. For megacities with a population of millions, such a project significantly improves the social situation - there are fewer robberies, the overall crime rate is reduced, and there is less burden on law enforcement agencies. In addition, the project allows for more or less tolerable control over the situation with the homeless in the city and even influences the situation in some way.

The second project allows you to both place it and see it on interactive map cities requests for help. It would seem like nothing like that. Who cares? But in fact, the application turned out to be very popular - because it solved the main communication problem by connecting those who need help and those who can provide it. Moreover, anyone can join the project. He will be aware of the requests around him and will have a convenient opportunity to get help if anything happens.

Youth sphere

The ideas of social projects aimed at students and students play an important role in the popularization of social projects. They make it possible to increase the employment of this active segment of the population, develop a sense of patriotism and demonstrate personal potential in many areas.

It should be noted that the ideas for social projects for young people are varied. They relate, for example, to the world of work. This is the organization of construction teams or activities to prevent neglect and juvenile delinquency. Projects can be aimed at youth recreation, intercultural interaction and practical activities.

Sphere of culture

Ideas that can be found in the cultural sphere are usually the most noticeable. They are supported by the state through government grants.

Social projects whose ideas relate to this topic cannot always be called creative. The events relate to supporting the library, museum and club (entertainment) spheres. For the idea of ​​social projects in the field of culture are critically important.

This creates an additional platform for the development of both personal talents, for example, in the field of music or singing, and also develops communication skills. Sometimes the opportunity arises to travel and gain new knowledge. It is worth noting socially significant projects, the ideas of which inspire talented youth and allow them to reveal their potential and talent. Often this is a television show.

At the point where the concepts of “youth” and “culture” meet, there are also social projects whose ideas are not original. These are educational excursions. Such projects provide an opportunity for young people to really expand their horizons and understanding of the surrounding reality.

"SECONDARY SCHOOL No. 1named after B.N. Kulikova CITIES WITH Emikarakorsk"

Social project

“Organization of a site for youth leisure”

Age: 16 years old

City: Semikarakorsk

e-mail:

Supervisor : Shkvarkova L.P.

Semikarakorsk, 2014

Project justification

I live in the city of Semikarakorsk in the Molchanov microdistrict. Previously it was called a farm. In recent years, our village has changed. A modern children's playground and a monument to those killed in the Great Patriotic War appeared. The cultural center of our village is the club, which is located in the building of the former primary school, which was built in 1917. It has not undergone major repairs for more than 20 years. The club director, librarian and enthusiastic people organized amateur clubs, theatrical arts, modeling and other hobbies for children and teenagers. But older young people have nowhere to spend their free time. Except for discos on certain days.

There is a sports ground next to the club. The initiative group brought relative order there: they painted the horizontal bars and fences, but this is not enough. It is not at all surprising that for several years now the main hangouts for young people have been stops near the Khutorok and Leader stores, as well as near the children's playground. People stand there until late at night, listening to music from wide open cars, turning the summer nights of residents of neighboring houses into a nightmare. Police? She can’t be on duty there 24/7! And why, in fact, is it common to think that young people are a problem for the police?

It is believed that the best solution is to disperse everyone. The solution to the problem is simple - young people need to create a place for communication. By the way, the “old-timers” of these stops themselves speak unanimously about this. Everyone would like to have a civilized meeting place where they can sit outdoors, watch the broadcast of their favorite team’s match, listen to live music, or even show your talent on stage or improve your health on the sports field or in the gym. Nobody wants to spoil the sleep of city residents, so what to do if there is nowhere to go?

Project goals:

renovation of the club building;

organization of a platform for youth leisure.

Project objectives:

skills formation communication with peers;

broadening the horizons and shaping the worldview of a young person’s personality;

implementation modern technologies active recreation;

promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle;

using cultural recreation opportunities to solve socially useful problems.

The target audience of the project is young people from 16 to 30 years old

Project participants:

Administration of the Semikarakor urban settlement.

Youth Council of the Administration of Semikarakorsk urban settlement.

State budgetary institutions club-type culture, additional education, art school, centralized library systems.

Project partners:

Administration of Semikarakorsk urban settlement;

Individual entrepreneur Evgeniy Sergeevich Starov.

I set myself the task of finding solutions for organizing youth leisure, arranging a place for gathering young people and, based on the requests and wishes of its future visitors, developing an entire concept. The location must meet the following criteria: walking distance, but at the same time remoteness from residential buildings, availability of communications (water, electricity), possibility of erecting lightweight temporary structures. In Molchanov such a place is the club and the surrounding area. There are former sports grounds here, electricity and running water are supplied. A renovated club and restored sports grounds can become the basis for organizing a single youth cluster for sports and recreation.

Concept

Conducted surveys public opinion and recommendations from professional organizers with experience in creating similar objects helped me develop the concept. So, the concept should include the following elements:

A small stage with light and sound equipment for concerts, performances, DJ programs (the sound from the speakers should be directed in the direction opposite to residential buildings);

Screen above the stage and projector;

Wi-Fi with free internet;

Canopies over the stage and spectator area;

Children's corner;

Perimeter lighting of the site.

This will be a civilized vacation spot. In the evening, the venue will host concerts by local musicians and singers, organize film screenings, themed evenings with the display of photos and videos, and broadcast football matches. The presence in the microdistrict of a universal court for basketball, volleyball, mini-football, handball, tennis courts, and a roller skating rink will certainly force many to try their hand at sports! Which is important for young people. Special arrangements will be made for families with children. children's corner. This place should become a “center of attraction” for everyone who wants to spend their leisure time well and actively. In order to popularize it, various celebrations and performances will be held here, for example, Youth Days, music festivals, streetbasket tournaments, sports master classes, exhibitions of photographers, artists, designers, demonstration performances by skateboarders and roller skaters.

3. Main stages of the project implementation

The main problem is obtaining permission for major renovations of the club building. You can limit yourself to the restoration of the site and the creation of a sports and recreation complex.

Appeal to the Head of the Semikarakor urban settlement Chernenko A.N. regarding the renovation of the building. Alexander Nikolaevich explained that design and estimate documentation for the renovation of the building and restoration of the site had been developed. It is planned that in 2014 construction organization will begin repairs.

Negotiations with several business representatives from Semikarakorsk, and they showed quite serious interest in this project and expressed a desire to take part in its implementation. The idea was supported by the leaders of many cultural and sports organizations in the city: the youth council, sports school, art school, musicians and artists of the city.

4. Expected results

So, the creation of a sports and youth cluster allows you to achieve several goals at once:

Create conditions for cultural recreation and sports development of youth.

To increase the interest of young people in a healthy and active lifestyle.

Relieve social tension among residents of houses located next to the Khutorok and Leader stores.

Renovate the club building, improve the surrounding area, thereby providing an opportunity for children to develop creatively in clubs, young people to spend recreational evenings, socialize culturally, and for older people to get rid of loneliness.

The concept of creating a cluster was presented to the city administration for consideration, which reacted to this project with interest and understanding.

5. Project budget

Funds for the implementation of the project will be provided by the Administration of the Semikarakorsk urban settlement.

Major renovation the club building will amount to 7.5 million rubles.

Construction of the site will cost 200 thousand rubles.

To solve some social problems social projects are created within the framework of which various issues are resolved. But before considering social projects, it is necessary to decide what they are. What features do those aimed at young people have? What are you interested in? Social projects at school, examples of their implementation? Or senior-oriented projects? Let's say, social projects for young people, examples of their implementation?

What is a social project?

A social project is a clearly formulated idea regarding a specific social problem or aimed at improving some aspect social life. But in addition to the idea, he must also propose ways of its implementation, answering questions about when it will be implemented, where, on what scale, and who will be the main target group of the project. An example of a social project that will be published below will help you understand what it is. Also, in addition to these issues, it is necessary to resolve the issue of financing (you can do without it, but it will be difficult). Usually there are 2 ways of financing: when it is financed by project participants from their own funds or sponsorship from an entity with significant financial resources.

Social projects include proposals for reforming the social security system, social protection, healthcare, and overcoming the consequences of social and natural shocks. Goals in such projects are outlined immediately and can be edited only when intermediate results are achieved in order to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of activities. If we talk about social projects for young people, examples of their implementation, they are not very different in general, but there are some features (although we can say that they are common to one degree or another for all projects).

What features do projects aimed at youth have?

The most main feature- that they are aimed exclusively at young people and aspects of their lives. When creating a youth social project, it is necessary to take into account popular trends, needs, and the potential audience of the project. Each specific situation that needs to be improved should be described in detail, as well as all specific methods and their application. Examples of school social projects are not fundamentally different.

Video on the topic

What should the project comply with?

The project must meet the following conditions:

1. There should be no contradictions in the ideas put forward and methods of implementation.
2. It must be possible to implement it under the given conditions.
3. Must be created on a scientific basis using the scientific method during the development of each stage. We can say something about social projects for schoolchildren; examples of them should be able to interest these restless children.
4. It must provide a response to the social order that has arisen in society.
5. The implementation plan must be effective and such that it will achieve the goal.
6. This should be a socio-cultural project, an example of which, even at the development stage, can interest young people.

How should a social project be formalized?

What should be in the project? First you need to choose a direction. The area of ​​work may be health, creativity, demographic issues, wellness, scientific or cultural awareness, promotion of sports or better attitudes towards other people. After choosing a direction, you should decide on the goal: for example, if science was chosen, then the specific goal could be the popularization of radio electronics, engineering, physics, the scientific method of study, the creation of a logical thought club or an astronomical circle.

After determining your goals, you need to think about tasks - the most concentrated goals. An example of tasks could be: instilling qualities that will allow difficult teenagers at risk to settle in life as a normal citizen, or helping in determining a place to study/work after leaving school. When the direction, goals and objectives have been determined, then the action plan and implementation deadlines should be discussed, as well as the place where all the developments will come to life. The action plan should contain as detailed a list of actions as possible, which will indicate what should be done to achieve the goals. To give you a better idea of ​​what is required of you, here are four social projects for young people.

Examples will follow. But although they say what they are aimed at (youth, orphans), they can be considered as social projects at school. The examples, although not very large-scale, will allow you to get acquainted with the nominal component. It is advisable to involve a school psychologist in the work.

Social projects for schoolchildren, examples of their implementation may differ - for them you can choose to help disabled children who study in regular schools.

The social project is aimed at improving the life of society. Its main feature is the lack of material benefits for the organizers and the improvement of any aspect of society. Next, let's take a closer look at what it is.

Concept

A social project is a type of activity aimed at development social sphere, organizing effective social work, solving social problems (overcoming poverty, increasing the level of education, etc.). If a socio-economic project is aimed at making a profit, then the goal of a social project is to improve any social aspect of life: the education system, healthcare, changes in better side life of elderly people without any material benefit for the organizers. Therefore, their initiators are often charitable foundations, educational non-profit organizations, religious communities, but there are also just citizens who just want to help other people.

Let's give an example of a social project. In Russia, a bracelet with a GPS navigator and a panic button was created for notification in an emergency. The idea was suggested by chance. The authors cared for elderly people who had memory problems. The risk of getting lost is high for pensioners with such ailments. Just walk an extra two blocks and they may never find their way back. The button with the bracelet serves this purpose. The pensioner clicks on it - a signal is sent to relatives with exact coordinates.

This example The social project was liked not only by people caring for the elderly. Parents with young children also gave a positive assessment. They protected the lives of children and pensioners.

Social projects for youth

Not only the elderly and children are interested parties. There are also social projects for young people. Their main feature is that it is necessary to take into account fashion trends and modern life.

Let's give another example of a social project - for young people. The “10 Evenings in...” Film Festival was implemented. Its essence is that 10 films from one country are selected. After this, film screenings are organized under open air. For example, the screening of ten German films was called “10 evenings in Berlin.” Spanish - “10 evenings in Madrid”. The project was created by a youth organization exclusively for young people. Of course, all age categories could watch films, but late in the evening, in the open air in a romantic setting, films were watched mainly by young couples from 18 to 25 years old. The project actively collaborated with embassies and regional offices of various countries. For example, German films were presented by the German Cultural Center. Goethe. French - with the support of the French Embassy.

The films were played in the original, with Russian subtitles. This added additional interest to students of linguistic faculties, as well as people studying a foreign language.

There are also projects that target all categories. We will consider a similar example of a social project below.

"Let's run"

The “Run” project is a voluntary association of people who decided to run, but were looking for an additional incentive to do so. Often, many who do not play sports have ever argued that “tomorrow a new life will begin.” As a rule, everything is limited to words. The “Run” project was created just for such people. The main idea is this: people register in the project and pay fixed fee. Within a certain period of time, they must post evidence that they are actually running along the routes that the system lays out.

After a certain time, the general fund is divided among those who remained in the project. As a result, the person got involved in sports and earned a little extra money. Sometimes bonuses are twice the original amount. After the project, the winners, as a rule, continue to run. The project provides financial benefits to the participants, but not to the organizers.

This example of a social project has the goal of developing a healthy lifestyle through additional incentives.

How to create similar projects yourself? Let's move on to the stages.

Stage one: choosing a goal

The first thing you need to do is formulate a goal: what is the project for? This could be free assistance to people, free consultations, etc. It is important to understand that the goal of a specific project is not meant, for example, the creation of a free legal consultation, but the goal is to increase the legal literacy of the population.

Stage two: choosing a topic

Topics are selected based on goals, desires, skills, and investments. You can analyze the best social projects. Incorporate their experience into your future. Let's imagine best themes social projects in 2016:

• "Family sports centers."
• The White Line Award project is aimed at raising the level of commercial and aesthetic services.
• Social assistance service “Your Nurse”, etc.

The main thing when choosing a topic for social projects is relevance. There is no point in starting a business that does nothing to improve people's lives. Often, some educational institutions and public organizations waste the time of volunteers and the money of sponsors for a useless purpose that has no impact on society.

Stage three: creation and implementation

Once the goal, objectives, and theme have been determined, the third stage begins - the creation of a social project. You can do it on your own and with your financial resources. However, if you have limited funds, you can think about a competition for social projects. Let's talk a little about this next.

Social Projects Competition

Competitions are aimed at supporting initiatives. It consists of:

1. Providing grants and financial assistance.
2. In information support. This includes various supervision, consultations in legal and financial matters.
3. In project coverage. Some endeavors don't need any financial support, nor in consultation. They need wide publicity. Various forums and exhibitions serve these purposes. They are usually actively covered in the media.

Support for social projects can be from federal, local authorities, commercial organizations. On official resources, conditions, requirements, priority areas. Thus, the administration of the Altai Territory in 2016 declared the following priorities:

• maintaining motherhood;
• prevention of abortion, drug addiction and HIV diseases;
• increasing legal literacy;
• mentoring of “special groups” of children, etc.

Defense of a social project is a mandatory stage of competitions. More on this below.

Project protection

During the defense, a special commission analyzes the prospects for the future of the case, compliance with the stated priorities and objectives of the competition. The assessment is made based on the requirements:

1. Limitation. It can be not only temporary, but also based on goals, objectives, results. Boundedness implies that the project has clear milestones with specific deadlines, measurable objectives, plans and schedules.
2. Integrity. Assumes that each stage is part of a single closed system. Any action within the framework of the project serves to achieve the goal.
3. Subsequence. It involves the implementation of a pre-planned plan, without unnecessary movements and costs.
4. Planned results. Must be based on objective research of the market, target audience, needs, etc.
5. Viability. Determination of development, prospects. In other words, will the project be able to last as long as stated in the plans?

Project implementation

The implementation of the social project takes place on the basis of the requirements that were stated during the defense. It is recommended to move away from them only in extreme cases.

The first thing we have already indicated is limitation, or specificity. This allows you to monitor in practice the success of planned actions. For example, a project to improve the legal literacy of rural residents. The goals and objectives are clear from the name. But how to determine specific stages? To do this, it is necessary to analyze how many residents live in a particular area, break them down into age groups, identify their main problems related to legal illiteracy. Based on all this information, plan stages. For example, providing free assistance to one thousand people per year on issues of property deductions for pensioners.

Specifics play an important role, it contains:

• stages and timing of implementation;
• clear goals and objectives;
• measurable results;
• plans and implementation schedules.

As they say, what kind of wind should be fair if the captain does not know where to sail? However, the specifics, although important factor for the success of the project, but not the only one. The second is the desire and dedication of all participants. If the authors put their soul, energy, desire, and all their strength into their creation, then this is a good guarantee of success, and vice versa. Creating comfortable conditions, proper motivation, consistency in the implementation of intended goals - all this is required from managers.

Implementation steps

Implementation occurs in several stages (steps):

1. Collection and analysis of public opinion to determine relevance.
2. Creation of a unified and cohesive team.
3. Defining goals and objectives depending on relevance and team.
4. Drawing up a step-by-step plan.
5. Financial planning.
6. Development of performance criteria.
7. Formation of public opinion.
8. Search for sponsors and partners.
9. Implementation of the drawn up plan.
10. Analysis of the results obtained.

It is important to know that this sequence is not strict. It may vary in a specific project depending on individual goals and objectives. For example, there is no need to search for additional funds and partners to provide free legal services to pensioners on the basis of an existing law office.

Problem Definition

The positive results of social projects depend on the right choice relevance of the problem. Indeed, sometimes problems arise that do not solve the essence of the problem. That is, they are absolutely not needed by the population. Let's agree, it's stupid to open a hairdresser for pets in rural areas with a population of less than one thousand people.

Relevance, i.e. social significance, is determined by studying public opinion. Various collection methods: surveys, questionnaires, mailings. You can contact your local administration for help. They go towards such experiments, because thanks to them one of the acute problems population. In addition to advice, reaching out to local authorities can pay other significant dividends.

It is important to know that you must first identify significant issue, for the solution of which similar projects are created. When determining it, the following is taken into account:

• The relevance of the problem for a specific city, village, microdistrict, street.
• Scale, i.e. how many stakeholders will participate in the project.
• Practical implementation, i.e. the ability to implement the project in the proposed territory with the participation of the declared number of people.

Information support

At the second stage, it is important to gain public opinion. To do this, it is necessary to meet with the local administration, public organizations, journalists. It is important to receive not just approval, but information support. This will allow you to attract an additional number of people without the financial costs of advertising.

The main thing is personal responsibility

The next steps are drawing up a project and recruiting a team. It is important to clearly define who is responsible for what. The absence of those responsible leads to a negative result. If a group is working, then you need to identify the leader. Give him personal responsibility for the entire team. Otherwise, the famous law will work: if there is more than one to blame, then no one is to blame.

Defining Resources

The next step is to identify resources. This concept refers not only to financial resources, but also information, material assets, real estate. Additional sources of resources may be:

• Grandees, participation in competitions.
• Municipal authorities.
• Other interested public organizations.
• Concerned citizens.

Development of a rating system

When implementing any project, control plays an important role. It involves a clear rating system. Before creating a project, it is imperative to work out the criteria. When defining them, it is important that the results are achievable. Otherwise, participants will understand that it is impossible to achieve them. This will lead to loss of enthusiasm, concentration, and interest. Everything will end in failure.

Formation of public opinion

Public opinion cannot be underestimated. Public support will lead to successful results. If the majority of residents have a negative attitude towards a social project, then it will most likely be doomed to failure. The population will do everything that depends on them, if only the unwanted organization would curtail its work on their territory.

As an example of the indicative power of public opinion, one can cite the case of a discussion of a social project to help drug addicts. It was planned that centers would be created where addicts could receive a dose. According to the plan, it was assumed that this would reduce mortality. It will also be possible to keep records of the number of drug addicts to assess the scale of the problem. The population of the residential areas where such centers were supposed to be located actively fought the project at the discussion stage. People were afraid for their property, children, their lives. Their neighborhoods became drug dens of sorts. Naturally, few people may like this.

Results of the work

After carrying out all the planned activities, it is important to summarize and answer the following questions:

• Did everything work out? Have the results that were planned in advance been achieved?
• If not, why did this happen? What needs to be done to avoid failure in the future?
• What was the atmosphere like during the events? How did interested participants support the project? local authorities, media?
• How effective is the team? Is additional motivation needed?
• What did the project give to its participants?

Reasons for failure

The reasons for failure mainly lie in failure to comply with the above requirements, these are:

1. Lack of clearly defined goals and objectives. We have already given an analogy with a ship and the wind.
2. Poor management. Sometimes the problem is incorrect priorities, i.e. less important problems are solved first. Urgent ones, on the contrary, fade into the background, which leads to negative consequences.
3. Insufficient attention to results and consequences.
4. Lack of consideration of the external environment. Authors and managers should learn that sometimes nothing depends on them. Underestimation external factors leads to internal failures. These include: changes in legislation, economic crisis, change of government, etc.
5. Insufficient research into relevance. Failures often result from overestimating the needs of society. For example, charitable organization invests money in the construction of a sports ground in rural areas. However, she did not take into account that there would not be enough children under 18 to fill two football teams. Consequently, building a site in this location is an extremely inefficient use of funds. With the same success it was possible to build a sports facility in another place. This would allow more children to be reached. This example is correct only if the goal of the object is maximum development children's sports. It is possible that the organization’s objectives are to develop the village and increase the number of residents in rural areas. Then our example, on the contrary, is correct. However, it is very difficult to predict the stages of implementation, since the demographic situation in a particular locality is unlikely to depend on the sports facility.

Social project passport

Any commercial, social or investment project must have a passport. It makes up the essence, the content. It is enough to analyze the project passport to understand what it is. It contains:

1. Subject.
2. Project type.
3. Goals and objectives.
4. Justification: organizational, legal, financial.
5. Implementation stages and deadlines.
6. Expected results.

Conclusion

The goal of the social project is to make people's lives better. The state, if possible, tries to support all initiatives in this direction.
