ACTION RESEARCH WORKSHOP
Cross-Sector Collaboration and Leadership on
Refugee Issues in Denmark Danish Red Cross and CBS inv ite you to an action research workshop about cross-sector partnerships on refugee issues in Danmark. Participants in this workshop will explore how torender the recommendations and guidelines contained in the Cross-Sector Partnership Guideline (theguideline.dk) relevant and actionable in the context of Danish Red Cross efforts to meet challenges related to displacement and integration in Denmark. The working groups will leverage different perspectives and tools from the guideline to delve into cases about Danish Red Cross partnerships with Novo Nordisk, ISS, and KMD.
During the workshop we will share knowledge and best practices generated by successful partnerships between the Danish Red Cross and private sector organisations, and focus on how to develop new opportunities for more such collaboration into the future, with a specific focus on partnerships that support the Danish Red Cross’s mission with respect to refugees and integration in Denmark. Toward this end the workshop will bring together relevant Danish Red Cross staff and leadership, representatives from current private sector partner organisations, representatives from potential private sector partner organisations, and faculty from the Copenhagen Business School.
