Collaboration between culture and care
The LKCA (Landelijk Kennisinstituut Cultuureducatie en Amateurkunst) recently distributed a publication on cooperation between culture, care and welfare. In a short and clear text, it explains possible dilemmas and corresponding solutions in collaborations where the differences in ways of working can sometimes be large.
A quote from the publication: "Professionals in the culture, care and/or welfare sectors are increasingly working together to activate people in vulnerable positions, develop their talents, let them experience pleasure and contribute to meaning. Cultural professionals are ideally placed to shape this and this is where their expertise lies. Yet some issues require specific expertise that a culture professional does not have in house, but a care and/or welfare professional does. In practice, this leads to questions: where does the work of one professional begin and end and where does that of another begin and end? How do you coordinate and strengthen each other? What dilemmas do you encounter? And how do you solve them together? In short: where are the interfaces and shared interests between the sectors and how do you properly deal with the boundaries and different responsibilities of each sector?"
