Are you part of a Learning Alliance? Then this report may be useful to you. It is not a blueprint, however, for how a Learning Alliance should be set-up and run. Rather this report provides some perspectives, lessons learned and best practices from the Learning Alliance in Lodz City in Poland which is one of the 9 demonstration cities for the SWITCH project. This report is meant to share experiences, give some insight, provoke thoughts and actions, and to provide suggestions for strengthening a Learning Alliance approach.

The lessons presented here are of course based on the particular conditions, needs and people present in Lodz but can be more widely useful too. However, any use or application of these lessons needs to be considered within the particular context in which a Learning Alliance is.
