Not a Toolkit!Fair Collaboration in Cultural Relations- a reflAction

This toolbox contains a series of PDFs in the form of a non-linear, multi-part visual reflective journal. These PDFs are versatile in their usage: With their journal-like feeling, they encourage the user to not just read but to interact with them.

It has been designed to question what fair collaboration in cultural relations means, and what it could look like for EUNIC members working with local partner organisations worldwide. To explore these questions this toolbox seeks to expand and elaborate on the topic of fair collaboration, to raise awareness of related issues, and to provide concrete tools and frameworks to support practitioners working in the field of cultural relations.

It was created by Cristina Farinha, Avril Joffe, Matina Magkou, Anna Steinkamp, Katelijn Verstraete, and Sudebi Thakurata along with D.epicentre as the design partner and commissioned by EUNIC.
