Visualisation Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects With regard to all programme sections that deal with information for participants or with group questions and joint discussions, it makes sense to visualise the key contents. “Visualise“ refers to the written documentation of information and questions for all participants. The backgro<strong>und</strong> is the idea that participants are exposed to a mass of impressions and information, which all need to be processed. Many things happen at the same time, many things are new, all have to be simultaneously processed, evaluated, filtered and kept. In doing so, many things, which are actually important, are lost. In order to avoid this and focus the group interest, central information and questions for the group should be visualised. This is not a new concept, as e.g. the blackboard was used for this in school. Today, facilitators use a flip chart or a pin board. It is essential that everything written down can be read by all participants. Visualisation means: • Write in large letters, at best with a broad felt pen (the text must be readable from a 5 metre distance) • Use block capitals, (joined-up/cursive writing is less readable) • Clearly highlight heading or question in the top left corner • A maximum of 5 indents • In the languages of all participants (if necessary, several flip charts or pin boards) • Sufficient space below for comments made by participants, which should also be documented during discussions During the presentation • the facilitator should face the participants, • use his/her hands to indicate the appropriate passage in the text • introduce the presented issues with few words and • make few comments, i.e. important contents shouldn’t be clogged up with words. The following should be taken into account during the presentation: • during words of introduction » explain everything in a clear and repetitive manner » explain goals » choose an introduction as positive as possible • during words of thanks » provide a summary at the end » follow-up work needs to be arranged » an outlook for subsequent steps must follow The following golden rule applies to contributions by all facilitators and participants • Talk about everything, but no longer than 30 seconds Set of Methods 133
<strong>TRAMP</strong> – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe 134 Part II Work Techniques for Groups Teamwork Techniques The experiences the project team has made with intergenerational and intercultural groups showed that all participants without exception displayed a high level of commitment. However, upon starting a similar project it is recommended to have a certain repertoire of group-forming exercises and techniques in order to be able to implement these in the group, depending on the overall mood. Analogue exercises such as the stick or canvas exercise can be appealing to the group as a warm-up or skills exercise, even if the participants are sceptical towards “playing games”. Sticks or canvasses are likely to be available on any building site (for exercise instructions see section on methods), but the group leader is also able to intervene in a simpler way without the use of materials: Instruction: the group participants form a circle, hold each others’ hands and are requested to focus their eyes on a nearby point. Then they are asked to approach this target without losing contact with the others. Soon they will realise that this is only possible, if they communicate with each other and question the term “without losing contact with others”. Does this imply that they shouldn’t lose eye contact with others or does it imply touching each others hands until the target location is reached? They will also need to communicate about the target points. What does reaching the target mean? Is it sufficient to be one step closer to the target or do they need to be as close to the target as possible? What does each individual associate with the willingness to compromise?
