Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects Generating Goals and Planning an Exchange The aims of an exchange can differ considerably among participants: some want to get to know Europe, others want an intercultural project, again others want to be involved in discussions with people from younger generations (conduct a dialogue or monologue), others want to help abroad with manual skills. Depending on interests, the project will have different focuses and may even cause disappointment with some, because something else was expected. In order to adjust the goals, organisers and participants should communicate these beforehand. This could be achieved in the form of a more elaborate goal finding process, which includes the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Goals and Contents of Exchange First, the goal question is formulated and visualised Then all participants write their goals on cards, which are subsequently collected The cards are then separated according to goal levels (overall goals, sub goals and measures, achieved on a long, middle or short-term basis) Sub goals and measures are attributed to the (few) overall goals Now common goals need to be agreed upon and some goals might need to be discarded The common goals are completed in terms of sub goals (complementary sub goals are determined) The goals are evaluated Determination and review of conditions Review of feasibility regarding time, personnel, finances etc. Finally, an action plan is devised In case this is considered too complex, a preparation meeting in the form of a discussion round could be scheduled instead, in which common goals are determined following a discussion of individual goals. This happens either in the hope that these goals are actually dealt with in the course of the project or that everyone agrees to use the reduced version in the joint planning round. On a whole, the joint definition of goals at the beginning reduces subsequent problems, saves time (and possibly disappointments and trouble) and generally leads to better results. Set of Methods 107
TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe 108 Part II Generating Ideas In order to develop creative and new ideas, it sometimes makes sense to leave the usual setting by employing a simple yet effective method. The same rules apply to most of these creativity groups: • The formal framework must be strictly followed • The quantity of new ideas initially overrides the quality • There is no intellectual property – everyone can be inspired by others • Making free associations is actively encouraged – anything goes • Work is performed under considerable time pressure: Chop chop! • All ideas are documented in written form • No one is criticised One of these creativity techniques is the so-called 3-6-5-method: • 3 ideas divided by • 6 participants in • 5 minutes Each of the 6 participants receives a pre-printed sheet of paper (see below). All start at the same time and have 5 minutes to enter 3 ideas into the first line. After exactly 5 minutes the paper is passed on to the next person. Again each has 5 minutes for 3 new ideas and so on. At the start of the exercise everyone tends to enter their already existing ideas and 5 minutes for 3 ideas seems a long time. However, by the fourth round everyone is at their wits end and stressed, because new ideas are being expected from them. Absurd, but also wonderful ideas and solutions to current questions frequently emerge under pressure. With 6 participants and 6 sheets of paper an overall maximum of 108 ideas is achieved. When the collection is complete, the ideas are evaluated and the best ones filtered out.
