The partnership consists of 

  • local partners with in-depth acquaintance with their local context and community
  • trans-local or network partners spreading good or next practices across locations
  • research partners contributing theories, models, methodologies and syntheses of empirical research

It emerges from four territories of peripheral Europe, involving trans-local organizations and research institutions, according to the mission and the specific focus of the different projects. The partnership has originally been created for implementing this project series. It has the intention to continue collaborating beyond single projects. It is also open for new partners. If you feel resonating, please drop us a message.
