Theater Workshop - Exploring Partnerships!

In this alternative workshop about partnerships, we set the frame and you participate actively with your experiences, ideas and thoughts. Actors and consultants from the Dacapo Theater will guide us, provoke us, and make us exchange images from our daily life.

When we talk about partnerships...

We define partnerships as a co-operation between two or more parties, which leads to the creation of something that either party could not manage on their own. Furthermore, partnerships are characterized by having all parties contributing to – and all parties gaining from – the co-operation. Thereby, we are not talking about customer relations, consultant services, or other forms of supplier/purchaser relations.

When we talk about innovative partnerships...

We want to explore with you how we can take it one step further and create partnerships that challenge library perceptions and create new products or services for our citizens.

Have you ever considered questions like:

    •    A successful partnership is characterized by being a “win-win” situation. What does your library “win”? What do you believe your partners “win”?
    •    One viewpoint on partnering could be that working with partnerships isn’t so much about having the right staff (outgoing, energetic and committed), but about having a strategy for what the library wants to achieve.
    •    How can libraries support partners in their service or product innovation and vice versa?
 

If yes: you have to show up and attend this workshop! Or give us some comments about your experiences with partnerships now!
