PARTNERSHIP
How would it work?
Voluntary membership and for mutual gain
In each country a designated post – a lead CIP
person for each of the partners with some
admin support
There would be a shared budget for funding
exchanges, learning sets and publications.
One annual learning event hosted in a partner
country.
we have a great opportunity to make a real
difference through collaborative action
Next steps
Finalise a proposal for each partner to
discuss – May and June
Seek funding instruments and apply
Meanwhile agree a link person for a
scype meeting on a monthy basis.
