Within the context of cultural contact, the iceberg-analogy shows the importance of a correct interpretation of external visible behaviour based on the initially invisible moral concepts underlying that behaviour. Based on previous results of the multiplier seminar, the work groups had been given the task to plan an exemplary programme for a one-week exchange. Amongst other things, this organisational approach (organisational approach) investigates how a programme should be organised in order to achieve the goals of the exchange and prepare a successful intergenerational as well as intercultural communication between the participants. This exercise not only served to heed already discussed hints and recommendations, but also involved the integration of the participants’ own knowledge and experiences and to review these in terms of their implementation. The cultural framework programme of the multiplier seminar prompted participants to discuss the cultural approach and its significance for an international exchange. While being abroad, the elderly should be given the opportunity to discover the region together with those who come from the area and to familiarise themselves with the local living conditions. Sightseeing and insights into social life contribute to this. However, the interests of the participants need to be taken into account. At the same time it is also possible to integrate the younger generation. On the whole, the experiences of the cultural programme serve as a familiarisation factor with participants of the host country thus promoting communication processes. A further seminar component brings the discussion back to the European context of working with senior citizens. The institutional approach includes information on EU support programmes, but also points to the necessity of establishing and exploiting 52 Part 1 international networks. Dissemination was also a subject of discussion which involves distributing information on funding programmes of the EU and letting other organisations and institutions share experiences and results of accomplished projects. The concluding strategical approach contains the aspect of evaluating EU programmes. Here, the exchange goals need to be reviewed and results made available for future projects. The final evaluation process of the TRAMP project used linguistic methods (questionnaires, comments) and written visual methods (drawings and graphics); in addition there were daily feedback rounds either in the evenings or prior to the practical work sessions in the mornings. In doing so, new ideas can be seized, suggestions for improvement implemented and participants included in the process while the exchange is still underway. Furthermore, the evaluation targets on the arrangement of future funding lines. Evaluation of the Multiplier Seminar On the one hand the evaluation of the seminar in Paris served organisers as feedback on the curriculum and, on the other hand, served the mediation of evaluation methods, which were applied in exemplary form. In essence, the feedback regarding the contents of the multiplier seminar was positive. The particularly good points were emphasised as follows: • The insight into the European context or working with senior citizens and the possibilities of international cooperation, the information on support options by the EU, the presentation of European networks for the intergenerational practice by the “Projektbüro Dialog der Generationen”, the discovery of intergenerational work;
