Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects Since the year 2000 the EU has been supporting “A Europe for all ages - Promoting prosperity and intergenerational solidarity”, and since 2002 the EU has also supported programmes that promote the mobility of the elderly, including the ENEA programme. This focus area is developing with an increased intensity. A new feature since 2009 involves the testing and support of the mobility of elderly volunteers in the European Programme for Lifelong Learning as part of the Grundtvig Programme with the campaign SVP Senior Volunteer Projects. Currently, the planning process for the European Year for Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity in 2012 is already underway. The new generation of EU funding programmes begins in 2014 and will last until 2021, the foundations of which are now being laid. This is the context of the TRAMP project, which is being supported by funds from the European Commission. The aim of this cooperation project was to facilitate access within Europe for people with few foreign language skills. “We do not understand each other’s language, but working together runs smoothly nevertheless.” This is how Helmut Beyerlein, one of the participating seniors, commented on the TRAMP project and, in particular, the exchange in Hamm/Westfalia, which focused on manual work-oriented, intergenerational voluntary work. “It was fun” said Öger, one of the participating pupils. “Working this way was a pleasure”. This was the plan - and it worked. Why this project? Preface The CALL FOR PROPOSALS of the ENEA PREPARATORY ACTION ON ACTIVE AGEING AND MOBILITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE describes the background as follows: The proportion of people over the age of 55 in the total population will rise over the coming decades firstly because the baby boom generation will enter this age group, and also because fertility rates are dropping and life expectancy increasing. In this context, it is becoming of growing importance to mobilise the full potential of older people through active ageing, which implies allowing older people to stay longer in the labour market and to develop their contribution to society, notably as volunteers. Active ageing can be supported through efforts to promote the mobility of older people, giving them access to a wider range of opportunities for employment or volunteer activities across the European Union. Moreover, mobility of older people, as workers, volunteers or tourists, may create new employment opportunities, including the elderly workers themselves. The ENEA preparatory action is intended amongst others to finance measures to encourage the establishment of exchange programmes for the elderly through specialised organisations tasked with developing, inter alia, resources for mobility and adapting infrastructures, including travel, in accordance with the contents of the following: Final Report 9
TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe European Parliament resolution on the second United Nations World Assembly on Ageing held in Madrid from 8 to 12 April 2002, which stressed the importance of promoting programmes encouraging mobility for the elderly – European Parliament resolution of 15 December 2000 on the Commission communication ‘Towards a Europe for all ages – Promoting prosperity and Intergenerational solidarity.´ Under the ENEA preparatory action three types of activities are supported. One of these is an international exchange programme aimed at promoting the active involvement of older men and women as volunteers working for the general interest. The TRAMP project One of seven projects of the current ENEA funding phase was TRAMP - transnational mobility of older people - working in teamwork projects in crafts, which began on 15 December 2007 and ended on 14 December 2009. It was funded by the European Commission, DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities / ENEA. The official project partners were Arbeit und Leben DGB/VHS NW, The German Federation of Senior Citizens’ (BAGSO) and the Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft of the Ruhr University of Bochum from Germany, ASCR/Klas (Club of Active Ageing) and the Faculty for Economy and Management at the Czech University of Agriculture in Prague from the Czech Republic, Culture et Liberté from France and GEFAS Steiermark from Austria. An additional partner was the senior citizen organisation l`Outil en Main from France. 10 Part I Elderly from three countries meet with pupils The general goal of the TRAMP project was to promote the mobility of the elderly with few language skills or who lack financial means, thus facilitating their access to Europe. The specific goal was to initiate communication processes between senior citizens from France, the Czech Republic and Germany by means of international exchanges and joint voluntary activities. At the start of the project, further goals were set and involved the procurement of new target groups, the establishment of new cooperations and the development of new work fields. In order to initiate communication processes between the participants, two methodical approaches were selected: to enable and promote communication processes between participants with different languages by uniting them in manual workoriented jobs on the one hand (informal learning during practical action), and by including children and adolescents in the project work (intergenerational dialogue) on the other. The young should function as mediators concerning language-related communication problems. Insofar, the TRAMP project had an intercultural and intergenerational dimension. In addition to the manual and intergenerational project work, joint socio-touristic excursions and encounters with people at the project locations and the corresponding regions should enable access to the everyday reality of European countries.
