Partnership Outcomes

The project partnership provided the opportunity for the involved institutions and persons for reflection of their own visions, program development practices and understandings, their experiences on working for and with children. Discussing and working on these themes and further seeing and participating to the implementation of a same workshop in different cultural areas gives a new perspective and view on the own model and also to the partner institution. It’s an interesting and valuable experience to work together with people and institutions from another country/culture.

On cocukistanbul part, the reflection of the own programmes was very fruitful, the critical questions of the partner useful. Receiving new ideas for the further development of the models gives a new dimension on the own work. cocukistanbul has highly benefited from the experience of globalising a local program, and the learning  what the crucial issues are and could be.

​

On Wereldmuseum part, the project brought a lot of inspiration for the Children’s museum which is at establishment/development phase. Wereldmuseum found the project outputs highly valuable during the development. The education staff used the workshop and cooperation with cocukistanbul to do research about the neighborhood with the children of Rotterdam. The interesting questions are in line with the development of the new Rotterdam children's museum. Further, Wereldmusum consideres the workshop as a big success and plans to include in the permanent curriculum of the Wereldmuseum.
