we started a few years ago a good practice with network of partners with whom we run youth exchanges: if they are in charge of facilitating a session with their group of participants, if they take active part and collaboration, if they manage to save money from travel budget, we agree on paying them the full budget foreseen per country, as recognition for active collaboration.

Basically common sense and knowing each other helps a lot. But in general, knowing the way a partner is working, knowing how they will support you and being honest is the direct consequence of building and respecting the same common ground and principles. We are happy and proud to be able to share many good examples and positive experiences!

Project coordinators should get a salary and not faking receipts and cut money from the budget! That’s unfair for them and for all the participants. (Cause of course they can’t work for free)

Sending Partnership but no participants

Sending Partnership but no participants 

# data[].attributes.body
I saw many organizations like this that they send partnership request to all projects which they cannot handle and when the time comes and project got approval. No participants showing up from the partner!

Or sending participants who are irrelevant to the topic or basically tourist who does not even know that they are coming to a training course.

So please be partner to the projects which you can handle! :)

Having lots of projects doesn't mean something good!

Making one project with a good quality is matter!

This is the beginning of a good partnership example. Rocco's been participant in one random project in North Macedonia but this has been the start of a great partnership. At that time he just started being involved in our organization and he didn't have much experience in youth work either facilitation. Today, after 4 years we are part of an international Network (Hate Fighters Network) with that group of partners from Balkans, being partners in many projects and facilitating together.

Long-term EVS Volunteer have hidden their anxiety/bi-polarity issues and they hidden it from both organisations,receiving and sending. How to handle it in a proper way?

You are working in partnership with a long-term partner on a project, where every country is expected to run local activities and there is even budget for it. After the first training mobility the partner goes a bit quiet for several months as their local activities are planned for the second part of the year. Suddenly, they send an email about not being able to be involved and run local activities. It is crucial for project design and funding body that every country fulfills local training. What do you do?

# data[].attributes.body
You receive a partner request from an organization, that seems to be active and well communicating with you. They reply to all messages and fill out everything asked in a short time and well. Once the project is approved the communication becomes rare and abrupt. It is a month left until the mobility and you only have 1 application from that country and the partner tells you that they will manage it.

You have a small KA2 project and it has been already a few months since it is running and there is no bank transfers coming to your account, you work with a long-term partner and they seem to be extremely busy and in a messy state at the moment, what would you do?

# data[].attributes.body
In one project there weren't clear idea, who was owning it and the co-operation didn't work. No one had learned about the project work before hand, which led to it that some basic things were never done. In the end, the last part of the project money were never given, and partly some of the previous money had to be paid back. 😣

Project Management & implementation grant is set to be the same for all the partners, while the work load is clearly different. When you propose to re-distribute the grant to save up for some production, partners want to use the training activity budget versus giving a share of project management/implementation

Your organizational capacity is limited and you have a tradition of planning your organization's work half a year to a year in advance. Due to bureaucratic reasons the beginning of a long-term project has been delayed and now it is being shrunk from 16 to 12 months, which interferes with your plans and organizational work.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes, specially when it’s the first time working together we tend to leave the financial stuff not to the first stage and, as for experience, there can be problems later on if one organisation is getting the grant whereas other is doing the logistic things.

The trainer/partner that we worked with appeared to be exactly the opposite of the values that he was "preaching". He was behaving violently and was quite radicalised in his methods. The irony was that he was holding the youth exchange about Radicalisation. Better hear once about it in a frames of prevention than to figure it out before sending your participants and be worrying about their safety within the training.

You are partnering in a long-term project that includes municipality workers and the project is managed by a public body. Suddenly they have a lot of bureaucratic procedures, limitations and seem to have little interest in the quality of the project...

We had a partner who announced two Days before deadline that they can’t be partners 🙈🙈🙈 at least they suggested a new partner for us but it was too late.

A team from one country comes and they do not have an appointed group leader & don’t really like each other and they want to attend the team leaders meeting with 3 representatives of that country.
