Budgeting is hard when your income is always changing, it's especially hard if you get a few lump sums during the year and are expected to make it last for months at a time. In this workshop, we're going to look at how to budget when income is always changing with a specific focus on lump sums. We'll look at connecting your budget to what really matters, clearly defining what you need, and tools that will help you smooth that lump sum out over the whole school year.
How to Register
This workshop is open to undergraduate students of Concordia University and recent alumni of the Faculty of Fine Arts.

Learning alternative ways to plan and coordinate projects is an essential professional skill, especially in the arts and humanities, where projects are often emergent and hard to map out. This workshop introduces flexible project planning frameworks as supportive tools to foster iteration, collaboration, and efficiency beyond traditional productivity culture.
The first part of the session will introduce traditional, agile, and hybrid project planning frameworks, exploring how they can be tailored to suit different projects and adapted to address specific needs. For instance, participants planning an event with a predetermined timeline and outcome may need strategies to break complex tasks into manageable phases.
Others developing new creative work or collaborative projects may require flexible planning approaches that allow for iterative feedback and adjustments as ideas evolve.
The second part of the session will introduce visual planning tools, including Kanban boards and Gantt charts, and provide an overview of free online project management apps.
How to Register
These workshops are available to graduate students and a limited number of seats are open to recent alumni who have graduated from Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, within the last five years.
