Study Tour Guidelines

The main purpose of the Learning Project “Study Tour Guidelines” is to provide a guideline for organizing and implementing study tours to Switzerland, while using the rich experiences made by previous organizers. The learning process that took place consisted of one SDC internal brainstorming workshop at headquarters, which resulted in the drafting of a guideline for consultation with all working group members. The guideline was revised and presented at the F2F in Sarajevo for discussion. Expectations, needs and experiences of representatives in Swiss Cooperation Offices and SDC partner organizations were gathered and included in the final version of the guideline.

The guideline is prepared as a light document which provides following information:

• Part 1, providing information on core organizational steps
• Part 2, presenting key issues for content design, which are closely linked to DLG processes based on Swiss experience at hand
• Electronic linkages where further information can be found, e.g. shared experience, tips and tricks, checklists, list with competence centers and experts, SDC instructions, examples of TOR and contracts, thematic background information and handouts.
