63 Cooperation with barter partners

Synthesis of the case study

Without sufficient funds to carry out some projects or to enrich the program with interesting activities we did not yet have within our offer, we decided to address potential partners and offer them the opportunity to cooperate in our activities. This method seems to be ideal for both parties. It allows us to share our hardware resources, knowledge, opportunities and experience, and to promote partner activities, receiving diversified feedback in return, which futher enrich our project. All groups, organisations and people are involved in the project for free - that means they are not being paid, but also that the participants do not pay for the opportunity to participate in various activities. With this model of cooperation – everybody is a winner: · The project is enriched with attractive workshops / meetings. · Participants (residents) can participate free of charge in a number of meetings. · People who help or support these events can promote their activities free of charge by: Rollups, flyers, information on the website, Facebook, etc.
