Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects<br />
ting determined the scope of issues and<br />
tasks. The subsequent two workshops<br />
discussed the work progress, clarified<br />
unsettled issues and specified and planned<br />
further proceedings. This included<br />
the recruitment of participants and<br />
multipliers for the exchanges, the preparation<br />
of exchanges, further workshops<br />
and transfer conferences as well as the<br />
completion of other project products.<br />
In the meantime the participating partners<br />
met in different combinations for<br />
control and work group sessions in order<br />
to deal with individual topics such<br />
as the curriculum for the EU seminar in<br />
Paris, the exchange agendas and the development<br />
and implementation of the<br />
database.<br />
2. The project was conducted in several<br />
phases. During the first phase a structure<br />
was devised and all participants introduced<br />
to the subject. The second phase<br />
involved the development of creativity<br />
and the exploitation of the participants’<br />
creative potentials. In the third phase<br />
the transfer conference and concluding<br />
workshop refocused the participants on<br />
the subject and project goal. This part<br />
of the process proved the most difficult,<br />
because decision-making processes and<br />
discussions with so many participants<br />
proved to be a complicated matter. The<br />
products and results of those involved<br />
and of academic participants were incorporated<br />
into the final report and particularly<br />
the practice recommendations.<br />
3. Structures of participation and decision:<br />
a. The project management was represented<br />
by <strong>Arbeit</strong> <strong>und</strong> <strong>Leben</strong>. The authority<br />
to decide in terms of planning,<br />
organisation, execution, conflict management<br />
and controlling was assigned<br />
to the project partners. There<br />
were also national coordinators who<br />

participated in the planning, execution<br />
and organisation of exchanges as<br />
well as in workshops and the conference<br />
and who sent delegates to the<br />
steering group.<br />
b. Participants and academics were included<br />
in the production of results<br />
as much as possible except for the<br />
focusing process at the end. Here,<br />
the authority to decide was left with<br />
the steering group and/or the editing<br />
team. Academic support / evaluation<br />
was included in the decision-making<br />
process, as their results accompanied<br />
and influenced the guidelines<br />
for the steering group sessions and<br />
workshops. Academics also took part<br />
in those steering group sessions and<br />
workshops in order to present and<br />
include their results in the project.<br />
Project-related decisions were made<br />
in the steering group or workshops.<br />
c. A methodical goal of the project was<br />
to include all participants in the process<br />
of developing project results as<br />
intensely as possible. The elderly and<br />
their specific skills were therefore actively<br />
included in the production of<br />
results. They also took part in the planning<br />
process of the exchanges and<br />
