This Workshop uses various participatory dynamics to allow for simultaneous individual and group reflection on cooperation and teamwork. The objective of the Workshop can be guided in two directions depending on the challenge set by the organisation: one that would establish a cooperation strategy between the departments and people that make up a company, or another to cooperate with other organisations in the same or different sector. The Workshop therefore helps to work on both inter- and intra-sectoral cooperation.

The Workshop uses participation as a means of seeking to detect needs, identify the main challenges faced by companies, define lines and main points of projects that can respond to cooperation between different parties, detect opportunities for innovation in different areas and introduce methodologies that promote interest in innovation aimed at improving ways of working, as well as establishing a system of cooperation that can be sustainable and balanced over time. It also focuses on issues such as the cooperation skills of the people in the organisations, existing teamwork models, establishment of channels for this cooperation and detection of possible alliances.

The elements worked on in this Workshop are transdisciplinarity, openness, knowledge transfer, mutualisation of skills and non-skills, horizontal connection and creation of networks.

The Improbable Cooperation Path Workshop has been held in clusters: the Basque Country’s Paper Custer to define the crucial points of a new strategic plan, or with the Basque Country’s Aclima and Eraikune environmental cluster and Basque construction cluster respectively to create collaboration services, see project), with public administrations seeking the collaboration of the various organisations of a territory for a joint project (such as the creation of projects between different member organisations of the Alava Alliance for Sustainable Development 2030) (see project) or with different companies for the creation of joint projects (those of the BIC Bizkaia incubator), or to establish the subject matter to be worked on at the Ibero-American Conference of Ministers of Culture held in Panama in 2021, at the request of SEGIB and Panama’s Ministry of Culture (see project).
