Community partnership

Current expert discourse in the field of higher education and its role for the regional development (OECD, EU) clearly leads towards the need of socially engaged education that relates to the partnership between higher education institutions and its local community organizations (city, region). Apart from teaching and research, the mission of higher education institutions as members of local community ought to be direct support of city and region development in economic, democratic and cultural sense.

For the success of the project, it was important to set up a formal cooperation framework, where Slovak Governance Institute (SGI) is both a leader of the project and the partnership itself. SGI mapped the interests from the side of universities and cultural organisations. Following universities and cultural organizations confirmed their participation: the Academy of Performing Arts Bratislava/VŠMU, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design/VŠVU, the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Comenius University Bratislava/FSEV UK, the Faculty of Arts/FiF UK, Bratislava City Museum /Múzeum mesta Bratislava (MMB), Bratislava City Gallery /Galéria mesta Bratislava (GMB) and Milan Simecka Foundation/Nadácia Milana Šimečka.
