 PMI Poland Chapter uses PMIEF Resources to Create Project Management Programs for Youth:
The PMI Poland Chapter piloted a project management class in a school in Zabrze, Poland. The students, aged 14-15 years old, used examples of real life projects while learning project management tools and techniques. Classroom resources included the middle school curriculum from the PMIEF PM Toolkit for Youth. The chapter also taught a two week project management class at summer camp for children aged 9-14 years old and plans to continue both of these programs next year.
 PMIEF helped PMI Karachi Pakistan Chapter connect with experts in Disaster Management:
