meewerkende

Meewerkende is a Dutch term derived from the verb meewerken, meaning to cooperate or contribute. Used as an adjective or participial adjective, it describes someone or something that actively helps or participates in a task or project. The word carries the sense of voluntary and proactive involvement, often in a professional or organizational context.

In practice, meewerkende appears in phrases such as meewerkende partijen (cooperating parties), meewerkende medewerkers (collaborating employees), or meewerkende bestuurders (cooperative managers). The sense emphasized is collaboration and willingness to assist, rather than mere presence or obligation. It is common in corporate, administrative, and project-management language.

Grammatical notes: meewerkende behaves as a regular Dutch adjective and is typically used in attributive position, as in een meewerkende partner or meewerkende teams. The form generally agrees with the noun it modifies according to standard Dutch adjective inflection rules, and the ending can vary with definiteness, number, and noun gender, though meewerkende is a typical base form.

Related terms and nuances: the concept centers on active participation and support within a group or organization. It contrasts with forms that imply obstruction or non-cooperation. The root verb meewerken remains central in explaining the background of the term, and meewerkende is commonly used in business, governance, and public administration to describe stakeholders who contribute to shared goals.
