Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects rope. On offer they have an overview of senior exchange projects, which were for e.g. supported by GRUNDTVIG, as well as handbooks and checklists related to the topic. The SEVEN portal also provides a category for partnership search for the new SVP projects. 3 European Exchange with an Intergenerative Dimension Experiences concerning the extent of the dialogue between generations profiting from transnational exchanges, were sporadically made during past international work camps and voluntary services. 4 Projects with intergenerational aspects were conducted in a bilateral exchange, in town twinning schemes and several projects of the EU pilot programme ENEA 5 as well as in programmes such as “Lifelong Learning/ GRUNDTVIG” and “Europe for Citizens”. 6 In contrast, EU programmes aimed at supporting the transnational commitment for all generations (e.g. the opening of the European Voluntary Service) are missing: However, some initial “tender shoots” can be identified as “good examples”. A look at the Youth Partnership web portal 7 demonstrates that the “dialogue of generations” is gaining importance, particularly for senior citizen organisations and (international) youth organisations. The following project examples provide possible fields of activity for intergenerative EU projects: Project example 1: regarding a bilateral exchange, the project “Lieder der Generationen” The German-Polish exchange project “Lieder der Generationen” took place in Kreisau in the autumn of 2009. 9 people from Poland and 9 from Germany, aged 20 to 99, came together and, within the scope of intergenerative biography work, discussed the personal significance of music as well as its societal relevance. “Lieder der Generationen” is also the name of the latest published brochure, which encourages other to follow suit. http://www.kreisau.de/de/ projekte/lieder-der-generationen.html Project example 2: In the GRUNDTVIG- FIFTY-FIFTY project, junior and senior volunteers discussed the general access to “active European citizenship” and international exchange and developed strategies and methods to promote the intergenerati- 3 Website of network http://www.seven-network.eu/site/?q=en; SVP project examples of the SEVEN network under: http://www.seven-network.eu - (SVP-funded projects) 4 e.g..

TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe 118 Part II onal exchange in Europe. The result comes in form of a booklet “Nobody left out! A Handbook on European voluntary exchanges”, 2007. http://www.seven-network.eu/site/?q=de/node/95 Responsibility and Participation During the TRAMP exchanges, the extent of participants identifying with the overall project and especially with the manual work-oriented subprojects was remarkable and impressive. This was particularly noticeable during two project instances: The planning rounds prior to the exchanges usually included the groups’ spokespersons, at a later stage the planning rounds were scheduled with all participants. Everyone attended these meetings and everyone participated intensely in the planning process. The distribution of tasks was always followed and the preparation always ran smoothly, whether it was an appointment at school, the private provision of specific tools or the compilation of lists with required materials. Already established local groups such as in Hamm, Oberhausen or Prague might have had an easier job than groups whose members were part of an organisation, but spread across the entire country as in France. This means that joint planning meetings can only convene with major personnel efforts and at a large expense. Participants organised their craft-oriented subprojects in such a way that they would be completed in time. On the final day in Prague, people continued working on the outdoor facilities of the KLAS building despite the heavy rain. Another group worked literally until the last minute in order to complete the window renovations, which had been added to the programme. All subprojects in Vigy were also completed, although heavy discussions arose regarding a programme change on the last day, because some participants had planned to rebuild a six-metre long piece of fence in addition to the already scheduled renovation work. Voluntary elderly were also included in the afternoon programmes in Vigy. For example, one was responsible for travel logistics as a bus driver, another was appointed as a guide in the local museum. During the exchanges in Hamm and Oberhausen the team of cooks had to solve the problem of serving lunch to a large group of elderly as well as a group of pupils before school ended – the problem was solved in an excellent way. An early participation of the elderly, starting with the first phase of the project development, makes sure that participants think about the project, that subprojects run more smoothly, an additional know-how is activated and, in particular, that everyone can identify with the project and make it their own. Last but not least, it relieves those responsible for the project, provided that the subprojects are specifically “invented” for this occasion and not a compulsory or permanent task of the cooperating organisation.
