| We recommend that you **contact them before making the temporary program** of your stay during the Tour. **Explain** all aspects of the Tour (topics addressed, learning process, target group, etc ) and **brainstorm** on possible trainings and/or interactions. You should make your best to earn their **trust** if you don't know them already: for example by inviting them to visit your site/blog, or to get to know the place you work in and your colleagues. Introduce them to the activities and the topics your organization is into. This may take more time than expected, but don't lose faith. | We recommend that you **contact them before making the temporary program** of your stay during the Tour. **Explain** all aspects of the Tour (topics addressed, learning process, target group, etc ) and **brainstorm** on possible trainings and/or interactions.

| - | If it clicks between you and a potential partner, **visit their place** to discuss the project in person, at least 4-5 months before the Tour takes place. Get an idea on **timings** needed for people to get acquainted and to interact within the activity that will be held, ask what **living conditions** they want to offer your group (access to water, size of the camping area), define what **equipment** you need and the **results** that are expected to come up, find out if some people from the hosting project can speak some English so they can interact with the group (in case the Tour involves people from different countries). Stay in **regular contact** and get into more details each time you meet. This will enable your final program to include several venues and your experience to be a nice blend of what the area has to offer. | + | If it clicks between you and a potential partner, **visit their place** to discuss the project in person, at least 4-5 months before the Tour takes place.

| Keep in mind that a good partnership should both rely on **shared values and interests** and on **complementary resources, skills and experiences** and that there should be **no taboos** in your discussion. **Address all topics** and not only the "fancy ones". Talk about money, question the enthusiasm and expectations of the host from different perspectives, try to expose what is not-said, hidden or unconscious bias: whatever remains unspoken could become a fertile ground for misunderstandings or frustrations later on. | Keep in mind that a good partnership should both rely on **shared values and interests** and on **complementary resources, skills and experiences** and that there should be **no taboos** in your discussion. **Address all topics** and not only the "fancy ones".
