Based on a small number of European studies and relevant policy documents and literature this chapter critically explores the idea of reimagining school as a space for building learning partnerships. The EU has already proposed that schools and training centres should be developed into multi-purpose local learning centres accessible to all, using the most appropriate methods to address a wide range of target groups. On this basis and with reference to relevant examples from around Europe, the chapter provides a critical analysis of the following issues: accessibility of the learning partnerships, outreach and attractiveness of provision, emerging models and modes of provision, strength and weaknesses in programme delivery, ways to promote cooperation and synergy among different actors, and advice on how to organize learning partnerships within schools. The chapter concludes that flexibility and support are important elements to run learning partnerships within schools. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
