TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe
Among the participants of the conference the average
middle class was well represented. The working class was
hardly represented or not at all. And what about the immigrants
from southern countries?

Our organisation was honoured to be invited to this conference.
It was the first time that we had been abroad and
had taken part in such an event, where we had the possibility
to get to know so many senior volunteers from
many countries. I was impressed to meet people who fight
against the loneliness of elderly, who help in children education,
who support young people to make a career or
give back hope for life to very sick persons, as we do in
our organisation. The conference was very important and
it was a novelty for me. I admire your initiative to bring
together so many volunteers, especially senior volunteers.
It was a profitable experience. I hope for a partnership
with an Austrian organisation, an intergenerational project.
The theme of the conference was very interesting, actually.
It was a real success. I send you my congratulations
and thank you very much for everything.

I would like to provide you with some feedback on the recent
conference. I found the administration team excellent
and very helpful. It provided me with an excellent networking
opportunity. I have also taken home new ideas which
I hope to transfer to the UK. I enjoyed the opportunity
to learn more about the good ideas and practice which
are encouraging learning in older people. The information
on intergenerational activities in a variety of settings has
given me ideas for creating new projects in the UK.

The third and final day was devoted to developing
ideas and initial drafts for future
projects and cooperations, again in the
form of workshops. The five workshops
were headed by Gabriela Schmidt / Laure
Onidi / Joël Jamet / Milena Svobodová /
Irmgard Zandonella / Klara Nehodová and
Jiři Kuncman. The results were impressive.
Although of course the projects were
not ready for application, both the sheer
volume of ideas and the quality were astonishing.
In four workshops, several project
drafts were created in each group. Those
in the fifth workshop concentrated on the
possibilities of future cooperations, also
with excellent results.
