<strong>TRAMP</strong> Transferconference 28th to 30th October 2009 in Düsseldorf,<br />
Dr. Krzysztof Iszkowski, EU Commission<br />
(a) In general I fo<strong>und</strong> the conference to be a good learning<br />
experience and provided an opportunity to meet potential<br />
partners for further projects. It was hard to make a choice<br />
for workshops. I would have liked to do one on completing<br />
the f<strong>und</strong>ing applications, but as I had to prioritise I<br />
was happy with the ones chosen.<br />
(b) It was very interesting to visit the beach volleyball<br />
court and I was impressed with the amount of preparation<br />
work, which was needed prior to the actual project commencing.<br />
There was a mis<strong>und</strong>erstanding regarding the<br />
word „craft“, we refer to craft as being handmade items<br />
such as knitting, sewing and so on, so while it was very interesting<br />
I don‘t think our organisation (for older women)<br />
would be able to <strong>und</strong>ertake this type of building project<br />
but I can see advantages in other ways. The intergenerational<br />
approach is very attractive as a means of challenging<br />
attitudes towards aging and this is very important to the<br />
work we do in Ireland.<br />
