'Tandem' means two or more things arranged one behind the other, or working together. Like team members coordinating their efforts to achieve a goal.
Examples in Different Contexts
In community projects, two organizations might collaborate in 'tandem' to maximize impact. An activist might share, 'We're working in tandem with the local school to promote sustainability.'
