Collaborative working is increasingly seen as the way forward for successfully working within the charitable sector. This interactive session will help you to identify the benefits and potential pitfalls of collaboration, understand the different types of partnerships and how your charity can start to create the conditions for success.

By the end of this session, participants will:

· Be able to identify the benefits and barriers to effective collaboration

· Understand the different types of partnerships and what may be right for their

organisation

· Start to build the foundations for collaboration within their own organisation, and

create the conditions for success with others

· Consider how collaboration works and can become unstuck

· Learn practical tips to take away and put to work within their partnerships

This session expects participants to have some experience of collaborative work or partnerships that they want to reflect on, therefore it is not suitable for people not yet involved in any joint working.

This course will help you to better understand:

· the benefits and barriers to effective collaboration

· how to create the conditions for success with others

· how to manage partnerships that become unstuck

Places are restricted to a maximum of 2 per organisation.
