Abstract
The current project management literature seldom addresses the leadership and management strategies used in educational project. The knowledge specialized for workshop-based educational project is even more limited. As one of the most complicated educational projects, this chapter aims to define what workshop-based educational project and its uniqueness is, examine the concerns in such workshop and analyze possible roles of project manager through the case study of the environmental sustainability project. The parties involved and their relationship in work are also clearly revealed. Six unique concerns which specifically exist in such kind of project and five roles of its project managers are identified are discussed and explained by using the case study. It is hoped that the discussion in this chapter is able to give references for educators or administrators who plan to hold projects which involve hands-on workshops as the core of educational activities.

Let’s Make a Try!
In this article, an educative or learning experience for children or preadolescents based on the intentional and didactical proposal of a “not curricular” knowledge. Workshop can always be associated with an adjective referring to the proposed activity (woodcraft workshop, rugby workshop, guitar workshop) or to the learning area (artistic workshop, theatre workshop, expressive workshop). A workshop is often proposed as a try, differentiating from a course for the mild expectations in results and for the freedom to have experience, often being conducted by not-professional teachers. Also, by the perspective of initial level of ability, a workshop is more inclusive than a course, because it can be at the reach of everyone, and it is focused on the process rather than on the products/results. a workshop gives more importance to relations and to informale learning, rather than focusing on a curriculum.
