Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects<br />

Method: Positioning<br />

Brief description:<br />

A line is drawn across the room (e.g. with a broad adhesive tape). Each end is tagged with<br />

a card signifying a »positive-pole« (positive / yes /100 %) and a »negative-pole« (negative<br />

/ no / 0%). Participants are requested to »position« themselves along the line according to<br />

their degree of approval or disapproval concerning various questions (between 10 and 15<br />

depending on the time available).<br />

Possible questions: (extendable and alterable at will)<br />

• Who has been to _______ (all the participants’ countries of origin are successively<br />

named)<br />

• Who speaks __________ (all the participants’ languages are named)<br />

• Who likes ________(styles of music are named)<br />

• Who can cook well?<br />

• Who is an adept craftsman?<br />

• Please position yourself along the line according to age<br />

Alternative: Instead of a line, 4 response options could be provided. Participants keep<br />

regrouping, they can also be asked to swap positions. This exercise is recommended for<br />

smaller groups.<br />

To be determined beforehand:<br />

Is there a room that provides sufficient space for this exercise?<br />

Starting point: At the beginning of an exchange in order to visualise knowledge,<br />

skills, preferences etc within a group.<br />

Timeframe: 30 - 40 minutes<br />

Group size: Suitable for all group sizes.<br />

Group composition: Intergenerational and international<br />

Necessary materials: Adhesive tape and cards<br />
