What are some creative ways to celebrate the success of a grant-funded project?

I believe, for success, the vision to attain the goal has to be planned and carried out in an organised manner. Team co operation is essential for taking any project to a successful end. Hard work, commitment, motivation for overall success requires hard work.Any project needs participation of all in a selfless manner.The organogram for collaboration should be the dream to materialise for all. At the end, there should not remain any heartbreaks,sense of failure or dissapointment among the members of the team.Good leadership is the essential ingredient for success. One must not feel left out, or the focus must not be on failure.The aim should be to reach the target for success, set before the project begins.Success in enevitable!

Since #Funding is using someone else's money, the best ways to celebrate are as below. - Work hard, celebrations come later - Work hard, celebrations come later - Work hard, celebrations come later Getting funds is not the aim, giving massive returns is!

I agree! Appreciate all little things; but work hard and work hard! Learn on your mistakes and improve future work. Celebration could not stop us with continuing what we do.

Cherish every cent. It’s a grant not a launch. Anything else is highly irresponsible. And should I be the grant manager I would immediately remove the grant and reclaim the cost of their party at my expense.

Since grant-funded research is something that only exists because of other people’s generosity and dedication to a cause, I find it imperative to showcase results in order to acknowledge those that are funding the project that they’re help was not in vain. More than than this, showcasing results can also be a way to motivate others who are interested in research that funding is available, as long as they ensure that their research is well-structured, empirical and can contribute towards a better society.

Keeping a journal has been a key for us. Accountability is a essential ingredient for continuity in funding. We have also published books with collections of stories about the mission of our community. As a leader be encouraged to tell your story yourself, because you know it best!

I personally like the idea of sharing the success story with a wider audience to encourage and motivate the youth. Voice your story through the publications, podcasts , vlog and blog will spread the lesson learned or the message to the specific audience.

Gosto bastante do "Compartilhe sua história", pois, gera conex?o com o seu público. Em mentorias uso a frase 'use a sua voz para contar ao mundo quem é você e o que você faz'. Essa história pode ser contada em diversos formatos, desde um texto no LinkedIn até um podcast. Usar a criatividade é imaginar o que deseja contar e fazê-lo de forma que o seu público se interesse e entenda a mensagem.

Profile the beneficiaries and how the project aims to change their lives for good. Use unique storytelling to evoke emotions.

The award needs to be more than just a mere merit. Look at the benefits that go hand in hand with the award, such as usage of a well recognised award-logo and where the award gets marketed. The aim is credibility and good PR. Does your target audience value the awards if it is from a body that is not directly related to the event niche?

An assessment is needed to evaluate what worked and what didn't. Keep the wins, but you might not be able to replicate those wins. Each event is different. Learn lessons from a previous approach but innovate in order to create a USP. The easiest way to differentiate yourself from any competing events is through your USP. The low hanging fruit is always content that can answer a specific market problem. If you cannot identify the problem, use the event to get the people who can solve the problem together in one room. Identify an opportunity, look for solutions. If you focus on the threats and weaknesses you will get dragged down in the details. Shift. Adapt. Grow

The future plan must include sharing the results of the project with others to benefit more and more from the project. The aim of each project should be constructive and to treat its weakness points in the next project.

This is an effective way to celebrate as well as keep striving to drive forward your strategic vision for the school. I also think collaboration with other schools or MATS should be a part of this process to share good practice but also allow you to see if there are elements that will help you plan for your next steps within your school as part of the that collaboration and shared celebration.

Celebrate project successes by also actively acknowledging the invaluable roles and contributions made by collaborators/colleagues. This could involve sponsoring a team happy hour or other recreational/social bonding activities. Promote a work atmosphere and culture where such collaborations can continue to thrive in the future. People will notice your gratitude, and more importantly, feel valued by such a response.

I think the important way of celebration could be in the form of exerting directed efforts to achieve the objectives for which grant has been given. Celebration will come on its own in the form of impacts we have made with lots of stories to share through different modes.
