Cooperation Models - Introduction

This section is the second in a series of three technical support tools and pragmatic advice for current and future coordinators of learning festivals. (You will find more technical support tools under “good practices” and “evaluation methods”). It contains suggestions for the creation and maintenance of cooperation with a range of partners, in order to support current and future organizers of learning festivals.

The support is structured in the following way: it provides a rationale for cooperation, and then describes the network’s understanding of a holistic concept for cooperation; you will find a selection of potential cooperation partners for learning festivals categorized into five groups. For each group, there will be a set of general and strategic recommendations when approaching potential partners, followed by examples of best practice and ideas of cooperation from the network partner countries.

If you would like to add your own suggestions for creating and maintaining cooperation, please contact:
