Models of collaboration
WHO European Ministerial Conference on Couteracting ObesityEuropean Commission Workshop
Collaboration between school and community: challenges and barriers
• Changes are often defined by external actors from the local community – schools/students are viewed as ’means’
• Lack of skills needed by teachers to integrate participation, authentic actions and collaboration in education?
• Lack of ‘preparation’ of pupils to go out in the community?
• Lack of ‘preparation’ of the community for ‘acting pupils’?
• Lack of joint language between main collaboration partners (teachers, key community people, parents…) (e.g. Shape Up philosophy and values)
