| Course Description: |
Hundreds of partnerships have been established in Northern Ireland over the past five years, both within and between sectors. The ethos of collaboration has been enthusiastically embraced, but the practice has tended to prove more problematic. Many of these relationships were established in a rush and the players subsequently have had to work through challenges in a fire-fighting mode.
A few years ago the WEA published a research report on partnerships, and from its findings developed (in partnership with the Interaction Institute for Social Change, Boston) a resource pack to help build the capacity of partnerships to enhance their effectiveness.
The course is designed to help you generate workable solutions to many of the common issues partnerships face, such as creating trust, forming structures that work and sustaining commitment.

| What they said about the course |
The course was excellent as it offered solutions to common pitfalls that we encounter when working on a cross sectoral basis. Through it I have learned to spend more time planning how the partnership will work, rather than leaving it to chance
