The major purpose of this study is to deepen the knowledge on the problematic of project development/management in an organizational structure and school culture. Projects developed in an opened and integrated perspective of social and school diversity; with community participation; guided towards self-evaluation and promoting curricular and educational articulation. In this study a multidisciplinary

theoretical framework was used. This framework encompasses sociology of the education, with institutional inspiration, and management, with purpose of clarifying in what ways, School Educative Projects are, on a day-by-day basis, run and developed. We expect also to devise main references and guidelines for the configuration and practice of the many educative projects developed by teachers in school.
