Resources

We consider learning as a driver for change

– for individuals, organisations and partnerships. Our ever-increasing body of resources is one major vehicle for capturing and sharing learning about partnership brokering. Many are produced by partnership brokers on the Accreditation Programme. We very much hope you will dive in, explore with open minds, and be willing to respond by changing as a result.

The resources are structured by theme (below). Under each theme, they are divided according to whether they are ‘PBA publications’, ‘Papers from Partnership Brokers’ and ‘Video resources’. Videos are in the form of animations, videoed presentations and recordings of webinars, including the Global Dialogues on Partnership series.

If you can’t find what you had hoped for, then we may be able to help, so please drop us a line: info@partnershipbrokers.org
