cooperation

Cooperation, i.e., for an individual being cooperative and acting cooperatively, is the act or process of working together to get something done or to achieve a common purpose that is mutually beneficial (Tyler 2011). It can involve teamwork and active collaboration, which is a form of cooperation and is often used as a synonym. Cooperation is central to many activities in the everyday world encountered by children, youth and all learners in school, at home, at work, in the community, and at national and regional levels. Because cooperation is useful for problem solving and forms the basis for healthy social relationships, it is a core life skill directly related to family, social and political conflict management and resolution in MENA.
