Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects Topic target group: choosing and addressing the target group 1. Age and degree of mobility Problems and obstacles • Different degrees of mobility within the target group and related problems Information • As participants in transnational exchanges the target group of older people past 50 is heterogeneous concerning the interests and needs of the members. The reasons are the degree of mobility and the person’s age. Yet in general, it is safe to say that the frequency of travel decreases with advancing age: • According to experts the interests, needs and constraints of older people between 50 and 65 are not significantly different to those of younger age groups. • Restricted mobility and a related housebound lifestyle is more likely to affect the over 70’s. Recommendations • By means of early cooperative planning, an age-appropriate exchange programme can be developed. • It should be decided in advance, whether the programme is suitable for a mixed-age group or whether the programme should be differentiated according to age. • In case of a fixed programme, precise information on possible physical requirements should be given in advance to the seniors in order to allow for a conscious decision on whether they would like to participate or not. Alternatively, data on the participants’ age and health condition should be provided in advance. Set of Methods 71
TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe 72 Part II 2. Mobility and gender Problems and obstacles • Differing degrees of mobility of male and female participants • Different needs and interests with regards to programme contents Information • Women of higher age are more often willing to travel alone because they are more often widowed than men. Women more often than men indicate that driving or using public transport is an impediment to their mobility at home or while travelling. • More than 70% of women are involved more often in housing care of relatives and are thus less mobile. Recommendations • Since women on the one hand often travel alone, yet while doing so see major barriers to mobility, we recommend travelling arrangements for the whole group and advise against individual modes of transportation or difficult and unmanageable travelling distances during the project. A pickup service for the routes to the various venues might be necessary in this case. • Announcements for programmes should be linked with information on help concerning care issues (as for example the right to a four-week exemption for the caregiver, paid short-term care). • In the programme content the different interests of men and women in mixed groups should be considered. Preparatory meetings can be used to find out about these interests and include them in the planning. In case there are greater differences, separate offers or a temporary separation of the group might be considered. 3. Participants with migration background Problems and obstacles • Problems of accessibility of people with an immigrant background Information • Many immigrants lack sufficient knowledge of access to education, they do not respond to the programme’s presentation or they do not feel secure in the groups. • There are too few opportunities for people with a migration background, often the programmes do not meet the needs of the target group or suitable programmes do not reach the target group. • “Migrants” are no more a homogeneous group than “the elderly”. The target group is not treated in a differentiated way.
