 In cooperation partnership projects, good collaboration between partners is key. These projects are long-term, complex and multi-layered with a broad range of tasks. To make your project work, you as the whole partnership will need to identify how each partner will contribute. Projects that have a chance of being financially supported by the Erasmus Plus programme are the ones that are designed as a learning partnership with the aim of strengthening the capacity of the partner organisations and their staff. Unfortunately, project assessors often see project proposals where other partners are in service of a single partner and develop the idea for that partner instead of with the partner. These kinds of project proposals do not meet the quality requirements. When designing your project as a true partnership, based on learning from and with each other, it is not so difficult to make an equal and balanced division of tasks and responsibilities. It all depends on whether you and your partners take your time during the idea development process to collect the expertise, the possible contributions and the learning needs of each partner. Divide tasks and responsibilities accordingly. So now you have all tasks and responsibilities mapped out. What's next? Firstly, discuss with your partners areas in which all partners could have an equal role or responsibility. Then identify together areas in which they would bring in a specific expertise. Looking at the project design, define where partners may work in tandems and how they can assist each other. The three most essential areas to design tasks and responsibilities for are content tasks, management tasks and additional tasks. Let's zoom into each of those areas. The main focus is on the content where tasks and responsibilities are related to the main topic of your project and focus areas are related to the priorities of Erasmus Plus you have selected. Content expertise usually means you have the necessary experience. For example, working with a specific target group. You have good practices related to the topic. You have experimented and innovated your practice. You have written articles or organized training around the topic and many other possible experiences. With these experiences, partners can contribute to the development of the content which could also mean, for example, to take the lead in some specific project or take an advisory role for other partners. It is important to know that assessors really check if every partner is being involved because it shows whether all partners can actually bring or take the expertise. In the other area, management tasks and responsibilities are related to the organization of both virtual and residential transnational project meetings, communication, administration, finances, contracts and reporting. Although there is a project coordinator, it does not mean that all management has to be done by one organization. They need to have communication with their NA, monitor the process and make sure all administrative and financial requirements are fulfilled. However, other partners could take a specific role like setting up the communication platform or developing an Excel form for the finances. Additional or specific tasks. These tasks are related to additional competencies that give an added value to the project and are not common among partners like app development, marketing, game design, graphic facilitation or graphic design, research experience or knowing how to facilitate training. By sharing these competencies in the project, the other partners might learn additional new things to innovate their practices. By this time, you might have some questions coming up. Apart from mapping out tasks and responsibilities, you might want to make a clear overview of the decision-making process. Who decides when? How to provide feedback and reflect together? When and how to make changes in the project? It is important that partners are clear what kind of engagement and influence they have during the project and if there is equal ownership by all partners. The biggest chance to make your project work is to design together, work together and decide together.
