 Yes, right now I am involved in two strategic partnerships. One of them is with, because I collaborate with two entities, so with one of them called Asociación Promesas. We are making a strategic partnership since like seven years ago, and they are all around educational games. And this one specifically is Escape Exclusion. That is a project, it's a long-term project about educational escape rooms focusing on inclusion aspects. And the other project that I am involved is with Fundación Explora. So we are more focused on participation. So what we are doing is a project on participation through art. This is also a long-term. In both of them, what I'm doing is like helping coordination site of a Spanish part, and also in one of them I'm one of the facilitators for the project related to my experience with gamification and escape rooms. I'm involved as a reading partner and coordinator on two strategic partnerships. One is for innovation and one is sharing best practice. I worked parallelly also in other strategic partnerships, one for innovation, but one is closed and one is still at the beginning of the process. So that's it. Two are coordinated by Joseph Tarino, which is my organisation. And that's it. Well, the beginning of the project is always an idea. There needs to be an idea, but there need to be also needs from the entities and from the people that is involved in the end. So I would say that everything starts with the curiosity to explore new ideas, new concepts, new methods, and then somehow these ideas are helping you to discover what do you need. Then from these needs are coming the goals and the achievements for the project. And if it's about the guidelines, what guides me to find partners is always the people involved. Well, I would ask always what do they need and what do they want to achieve with the project and in which way my entity can ensure that this will happen during the strategic partnership. So it's not that they need to be always like people that you already know a lot. They can be newcomers, but it always starts with some kind of connection before the project. It can be a small activity or some kind of working together because you are developing the same things. But I would say that the people and the reliable entities are really an important guide. Well, a bit from previous experience together. So maybe, you know, during other projects or workshops or whatever with some partners that are super close, we came out with ideas, but mostly with partners we grew up in processes. So for example, the two partnerships I work with, the partnership has really developed on the base of a path that was built but also being sure to be involved. Maybe other organizations that were not fully already part of this one process, I don't know what to say, but that could really contribute in a way to the process and to reaching the objectives that we were seeking to achieve. I would also say that even in the diversity we tend to cooperate with organizations we share the same values and the same principle related to the youth field and the quality of the learning processes that a cooperation partnership should have. So in my experience, I think our well-productive and reflective partnerships really support the creation of things but also the development of the partners in self and of the people that belong to the organizations. So this is not only a project that is done to create something to deliver, but really a project that inays the capacity building of the organization or part of the process. For me, it's fundamental. I also worked in other in which, you know, the output deliverable was the main focus which I still is very important as a quality, as a meaning for the partnership but also with the perspective that this is something useful also for the full youth field. However, I think if there is not the focus on learning in the partnership, there is also sometimes losing the commitment. I mean, when partners are really into the learning process, really into the contributions, then the quality, in my opinion, is higher because the partnership feels to belong to something. My way to approach, and I would wish that the way of approaching for every entity is that the base is that everyone has something to learn and something to share. So in some stages of the project, you will be more a learner and in some of them you will be the one sharing, but it needs to be clear that everyone needs to have this both size, learning and sharing. And the idea is that we develop it from the beginning, even from the ideas and sharing before what, where do we imagine going the next steps and including the stage when you need to write the project, when you need to make the application. I think this is also so important that you do it together among the partners because then if everything is shared, then you create a lot of ownership from everyone. And this is the way that when the project starts, everything can be shared with transparency, with honesty, with a lot of respect, but also sharing this ownership of the project. It's not that you have invited people to your project or you have been invited to, it's that you have created something together. And then once a project is approved, if you are lucky and you get it approved, quite far off the way it's already worked. So the decisions can be made together and they can be shared because then there is equal responsibility and also the goals will be taken like you will get them all together. I think it's very, very important that before starting to write the application, the most relevant part is that the idea is developed together because what's happened most of the time is that maybe partners receive from other partners or some partner's friends that maybe, you know, they think, ah, maybe this can be interesting because you work on a specific topic and then you don't participate to the process of developing the idea, to contributing, to explain how you can adapt and which is the impact that this partnership can have on a local level. And then the results is that some organizations, you know, are in partnership. They want to say they don't have any clue, but really they also feel a bit disconnected. So I think it's important to take time, even on distance to make, I don't know, zoom, Skype, develop together, maybe share some materials. It would be very good to take some time to read. Even if still, for my opinion, it's very important that, you know, this partnership, this project stay in a bigger picture of an organization, of a partnership that stays in the program but also outside the program and is focusing on what together is the change that wants to be seen in society because this really, really facilitates to commit, to develop something that belongs to everybody. It's also a tip, we use it, that for us works very good, to not try to gather the form of the application but maybe share some part and ask to the partners to contribute directly. I think it's super valuable when there are specificities about what are happening in a specific country and what the specific partners can contribute with but really go in detail. I'm not so good with advices, but if I need to choose one, I would say invest in good partners. Try to make a network among people that share interest with you or things in common also. Yeah, with people that likes to do the things in the way you like to do everything will go easy. And things to don't do, well, sometimes, you know, you see these kind of entities that are making really every kind of project whatever is the topic about, so they are experts in everything and actually this doesn't happen, it doesn't exist. Then that means that they just go in projects but they don't have so clear what they do want to achieve or what is the topic they want to talk. And I think there are a lot of entities and NGOs and foundations that they're really willing to share methods and to get to know methods and they're really willing to do equal partnership. That means a lot. So I would say invest in good partners and avoid everything that sounds like a project but it doesn't have anything to give you and that you don't also have anything to share. I think really this is fundamental because it's shown the idea to create something but also to share a content, a value, a tools that it's useful but also specific somehow, so no some random stuff but they are really connected to the social change that your organization is willing to see in the world, no? Because it's not simply, okay, I know that the founding party is fundamental it's very relevant and for sure cooperation partnership has higher funds than the action in the program. However, I think it's really, really changed the quality of the processes if the partners are committed to values and social change they're willing to see in the society and they really believe in it. And also the possibility that actually the partnership is able even on a small level to contribute in something because maybe it doesn't exist, because maybe it's bringing a new perspective it's having a specific method sometimes for us for example we work out on this idea of perspective to bring you know the South Mediterranean perspective in the strategic partnership because it's something that is not so common it's super relevant for us, for the organizational work with also for the local level and we think it's really, really important because it allowed us to reconsider also the idea of intercultural learning bringing really new perspective and new people involved human rights involved also diverse way also to approach and leave the youth work which for us is super valuable because experimenting and working in the youth field in Europe it's very diverse than working in the partner countries because the conditions are diverse because there are some differences and it's very, very enriching for the cooperation with such a diverse perspective because it's really also do something for me it's very important especially now that the partnership are focused on cooperation also build cooperation which are equal on a peer level where all partners no matter what, no matter how have something to contribute to the process something to support, something to say, something to share
