Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects
Method: Planning Process 5 – Target/Actual Difference
Goals / Options:
The planning stage requires creativity on the one hand and meticulous work on the other.
The determination of targets (goals) can be derived from the differentiated planning description.
However, it can also be supplemented by a written collection of the participants’
goals. During the first round, participants will only insert the “Target” column.
These are first gathered without comment, then arranged in order.
Order criteria include:
1. Context
2. Chronological order (What is the long-term goal? What are the middle-term goals
that pertain to this long-term goal? And what are the short-term goals that in turn
pertain to the middle-term goals?)
3. Additions might have to be made following the initial order round.
The second step involves the determination of the “Actual” situations that correspond to
each of the partial goals.
The differences between the “Target” and “Actual” situations are determined in the third
step.
