There are many different types of partnerships and many different reasons that you might want to develop them. Some partners will help you generate ideas, or develop content; others will help you to design your engagement activity; some will be able to share their skills and knowledge to ensure your activity is a success, and others may be prepared to put resources into the activity.
Partners can also help you develop relationships with different audiences.
However, before you get started it is important to think through why you want to work in partnership, and why your partners might want to work with you.
