November 2005 | Inclusion through Media Partnership Lab

Beyond the Funding

PAL was invited to design and deliver a 5-day residential Lab for partners in the EU EQUAL-funded Inclusion through Media project.

The aim of the Lab was to address strategic development of the partnership itself, the development of new creative ideas and the sustainability of the partnership after the completion of the EQUAL programme.
