Expectations of Cross-Sector Collaboration in Cultural and Arts Education

The promotion of dialogues between youth and older adults in the field of cultural education
remains one of the most important educational policy tasks in Germany. After all, intergenerational,
cultural projects can make an important contribution to reducing ageism, promoting personal
development, and dealing with social challenges. Close collaboration between actors from different
sectors (school, cultural associations, administration, etc.) is needed to secure such programmes.
However, this presupposes that the expectations that the involved actors have regarding the collaboration
are transparently examined, discussed and adjusted within the collaborative network in
advance. Therefore, the aim is to identify initial indications of different expectations of collaboration
between actors from various sectors. In order to answer the research question, 24 semi-structured
interviews were conducted in combination with ego-centred network maps in six German municipalities
with actors from different fields (schools, administration, cultural associations, etc.). The data
were then interpreted using qualitative content analysis. Our results show that actors participate with
expectations ranging from different degrees of closeness and distance to the other involved actors.
These results allow the first systematisation of individual expectations of actors at the beginning of
a collaboration.
