3t portfolio

Teams and Talents in the Third Sector (3T Portfolio) is an EU co-funded project that was started in October 2010 (ending September 2012). The project brings together nine organisations in the framework of a Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation strand of the Lifelong Learning Programme. The project relies on the experience and outcomes of a previous project, the competences e-Portfolio for arts and culture professionals – Portolano (2007-09). Portolano promoted the use of new forms of valorisation of personal knowledge, experience and creativity. Its success in breaking away from the normalised CV led to the present project where innovative ways of promoting skills are put to test on a collective level.

The aim in 3T Portfolio is to first train counsellors to run workshops with teams from the social economic sector in the process and creation of a collective portfolio reflecting the team's or organisation's competences. Following this initial training, workshops with teams in organisations from the social sector are conducted as part of the project. Counsellor training and collective skills portfolio workshops in the participating countries are monitored throughout to regulate processes and to provide the best conditions to attain the project aims. KC is in charge of quality management and evaluation to support these processes.

The last meeting the project partners held was in Hanover in June 2011.

The other partners participating in the project are: Itinéraires Formation (project promoter), and Coopérer pour Entreprendre, both based in Paris (FR); Capacity London (UK); uniT, and St:WUK - Steirische Wissenschafts, Umwelt und Kulturprojektträger – both based in Graz (AT); Der Paritätische Landesverband Niedersachsen, in Hannover (DE); VNB – Verein Niedersächsischer Bildungsinitiativen – in Barnstorf (DE); Université de Bretagne Sud in Lorient (FR).
