Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects<br />
Method: Incentive Posters “Welcome, great to have you<br />
here“<br />
Goals / Options:<br />
An appealing and motivating design of the room that serves the first encounter of groups<br />
is an essential basis for a so<strong>und</strong> cooperation. Everyone should feel welcome and be free<br />
to take part in exercises or start by observing. A large number of incentives offer the<br />
chance to relate to and integrate each and everyone. It is important that the incentives<br />
have different contents so that arriving participants can express positive as well as negative<br />
expectations and communicate verbally as well as non-verbally.<br />
This method is particularly useful, if participants are late in arriving or don’t arrive at the<br />
same time. The posters can remain on the wall during the further course of the exchange<br />
and may be used during later language modules or intercultural training sessions. This is<br />
a relaxed and open form of introduction and gives the participants the time and space to<br />
familiarise with each other, the environment and the hosts.<br />
Brief description:<br />
A flip chart with welcome greetings in the languages of both guests and hosts should be<br />
placed in the immediate entrance area.<br />
Several flip charts are spread across the room. If there aren’t enough flip charts available,<br />
simple posters can be stuck to the wall instead. Different headings are written onto the<br />
posters to motivate participants and some new “word donations” in different handwritings<br />
added to them. A sufficient number of pens should be in reach. The headings and<br />
first sentence lines refer to the exchange in some way or another and, depending on the<br />
situation, may also include funny topics. Headings are written in the languages of all<br />
participants.<br />
Examples<br />
“I came here, because...“<br />
“Here, I would like to….“<br />
“Here, I’m afraid that…“<br />
“Look for a partner and draw each other!“<br />
“My slogan for today: ...“<br />
“My favourite book is ...“<br />
“This will be a successful week, if ...“<br />
“This will be a bad week, if ...“<br />
“I hope we will ...“<br />
“I hope we won’t ...“<br />
“I would particularly like to experience here ...“<br />
“Re-design the world!” (Globe, equator and project venue are already on the poster).<br />
