Project Summary

SCC (Sharing, Collaboration, Cooperation) is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership that unites co-working spaces, higher education institutions, innovation communities, international networks and umbrella organizations, with the general objective of stimulating the development of collaborative spaces for innovation and anticipating the transition to a digital society.
In 2017 Cooperatives Europe launched a vision paper titled “A cooperative vision for the collaborative economy,” presenting the European institutions with a set of recommendations to shape a “responsible, sustainable and community-driven collaborative economy”.
This project was built in the footsteps of that vision paper and adopted the definition of collaborative economy presented in it. To bring forward the reflection in this field, the partners researched the relationship between innovation and collaboration and produced 4 Intellectual outputs:
– Best practices report on collaborative spaces and cooperative governance models (PDF)
– Mapping of higher educational programmes embedding work-based learning in co-working environments (delivered in PDF and as an interactive online map on scc.coop)
– Caracol Toolkit: Community-Aware Research and Action toolkit for Collaborative Learning (available on scc.coop website as )
– Collaborating in times of crisis: Lessons learnt during the Covid-19 pandemic (PDF)

The partners explored many dimensions of the topic. Starting from the definition of coworking and collaboration, to mapping existing higher education curricula offering work based learning through coworking spaces, to developing a comprehensive toolkit to support communities in the launch of their own collaborative initiatives, to imagining the future of work and collaboration after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The multiplier events organised have reached directly over 100 people live and many more online disseminating project results and all the content published on the project website scc.coop.
Partners and associated partners are committed to maintain the network alive and make use of all the produced materials to continue promoting and supporting community-driven innovation.
