<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 />
