Abstract

Education is an area where public and private sectors increasingly collaborate. The so-called ‘third sector’, which represents non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and Development Agencies (DAs), also plays a part, when collaborations take the form of a multi-stakeholder project. A 2012 research by the Foundation Strategy Group shows that successful and sustainable models contribute to both citizenship and business growth (Porter 2011, 2012). In fact, we may even go as far as saying that the combination of citizenship and business growth is the new definition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Issues in Education are wide and complex, social and even economic by nature. Businesses can play a positive role to foster innovation in Education and contribute to better learning. In this chapter, we want to analyse possible motives, scenarios and benefits of collaborative projects in education.
