<strong>TRAMP</strong> – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe<br />
176 Part II<br />
Evaluation<br />
The evaluation phase begins at the end of the exchange. It is important that<br />
all participants get the chance to state their opinions. The many individual<br />
observations, experiences and impressions come together and draw a realistic<br />
overall picture of the exchange. Resulting opinions and judgements or confirmed<br />
preconceptions of “Europe”,”the young generation”, “the Germans”.<br />
“the Czech” etc. are possible subjects of discussion. For organisers the evaluation<br />
process is helpful for further planning procedures.<br />
In order to obtain everyone’s opinion, it hardly makes sense to sit in a large<br />
circle and have one person speak after the other. The 11th speaker, at the latest,<br />
will agree with the previous speaker or one opinion will trigger an entire<br />
“movement”. A better option is to prepare a written query with points and<br />
cards. A previously prepared pin board with multilingual headings is placed<br />
in the room, which participants use to allocate points. This enables organisers<br />
to retrieve opinions and evaluations. In addition, cards (or slips of paper) and<br />
felt pens are handed to all participants to enable contextual contributions and<br />
to make sure that everyone is paying attention. Furthermore, to ensure that<br />
also critical judgements are put on paper, participants can remain anonymous<br />
by letting the organisers place the cards for them. Thus, the question “who<br />
wrote this and why?” is intolerable. The evaluation results are incorporated<br />
into the planning process of the next exchange.
