Objective:
The aim of the Master thesis is to describe French-German co-operation in a selected domain, to identify problems in the co-operation and to develop possible solutions of those problems.
Methodological approach:
In the French-German border region, many non-profit organizations and cultural associations cooperate in order to realize projects together. The master thesis aims at describing this type of French-German cooperation, which is very different from multilingual, cross-border cooperations in a company. On the methodological level, this could be realized by conducting interviews with people working in a selected non-profit organization. In the context of the Master thesis, problems can be identified, and possible solutions can be developed.
Framework structure:
1. Introduction. Objectives.
2. Review of literature.
3. Methods.
4. Results, potentially discussion.
5. Conclusion.
