Planning & organising

Turn an intention into manageable steps, responsibilities and resources.

Why it matters

An idea needs workable steps, responsibilities and resources if it is to move forward. Planning helps reveal what depends on other steps and where time, support or resources may be missing.

What this can look like

• breaks an intention into manageable steps
• identifies resources and responsibilities
• puts tasks in a realistic order, allowing for time and steps that depend on others

Youth relevance

Planning an event, community project or small business idea involves coordinating time, people and resources. Young people can work out how contributions fit together and where support is needed before beginning.

Ways young people can practise this skill

• turn an idea into practical steps and responsibilities
• identify the resources and support needed before beginning
• plan how different contributions fit together
