Generating Ideas: List of Possible Subprojects<br />

There are numerous possibilities for the implementation of intergenerational<br />

and manual work-oriented exchange programmes, which are listed below<br />

as suggestions for further measures. In part, these were already applied and<br />

tested during four exchanges of the <strong>TRAMP</strong> project and other related projects<br />

and are therefore briefly outlined here. A further list provides additional<br />

ideas, which offer no practical experiences regarding their implementation.<br />

Intended beneficiaries and cooperation partners of the project work include<br />

schools, school camps, nurseries or other educational facilities.<br />

• Construction of swings: assembly of components, digging the earth, concrete<br />

mixing, encasing structural parts in concrete, finishing touches<br />

Tool shed / barbecue hut: The construction of a tool shed for toys and<br />

work tools or a barbecue hut can be achieved either by a complete construction<br />

kit from a DIY store or with pre-ordered squared lumbers and<br />

boards along with wood and roofing felt for the roof. If possible, the space<br />

in front of the shed or hut can be fitted with benches, shelves or cabinets.<br />

The gro<strong>und</strong> is tiled beforehand. If desired, a barbecue space could also be<br />

built.<br />

Decoration of school yard walls: If necessary, the walls are cleaned with<br />

high pressure washers and <strong>und</strong>ercoated with paint. Motifs can be selected<br />

or designed by the young and elderly beforehand. School logos are also<br />

well suited as motifs. The motifs can be enlarged and projected onto the<br />

wall by a projector and then sketched out. The outline drawings can subsequently<br />

be painted with colours.<br />

Environmental improvements: Construction and repair of benches and<br />

tables in seniors’ centres, improvement of garden and design of a play area<br />

for boules. The result was an improved environment for the leisure activities<br />

of the elderly. In Prague, for example, renovations were carried out on<br />
