<strong>TRAMP</strong> – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe<br />
136 Part II<br />
Method: Getting to know each other with the use of a ball<br />
Goals/Options:<br />
Exercise aimed at getting to know each other, which livens up the group, demonstrates its<br />
diversity and the characteristics of each individual.<br />
Brief description:<br />
The organisers begin the exercise with a ball in the hand. They mention a characteristic or<br />
an activity of recent days, which they consider unique or which distinguishes them from<br />
all others in the group. The ball is thrown, the participant catching the ball continues with<br />
a further characteristic or activity and then throws the ball to another person.<br />
Alternative 1: The exercise can be slowed down by passing the ball ro<strong>und</strong> instead of throwing<br />
it. Of course, any other object may be used instead of the ball, e.g. soft toy, mascot<br />
or the like.<br />
Alternative 2: You can also use a ball of wool instead of a normal ball. While throwing or<br />
passing it on, each participant holds on to the thread, which will result in a woollen net<br />
that can be interpreted as a symbol of the joint efforts of the next days. When choosing<br />
this alternative, the group should consist of no more than a maximum of 20 participants.<br />
The exercise should also be conducted at the end of the week and serve as a final feedback<br />
ro<strong>und</strong>. As a sign of closure and farewell, the organisers should cut up the net with a pair<br />
of scissors.<br />
Starting point: At the beginning of the exchange, upon first meeting.<br />
Timeframe: Depends on group size; 5 minutes for exercise explanation and 1<br />
minute per participant.<br />
Group size: optional<br />
Group composition: international<br />
Necessary materials: Ball, ball of wool, scissors
