Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects Recommendations • To attract older migrants, access channels to local migrant organisations, associations and clubs in whom the target group is already involved would appear of some use. It is often helpful to involve mediators for the specific addressing of the target group. It should be emphasized that the project is open to all interested participants. • While planning new programmes, particular emphasis should be put on participation in the planning. It is important that programmes be checked for relevance to the needs of the target group. Differentiated marketing tools must be developed to address the target group effectively. • During the project, cultural peculiarities have to be taken into account. 4. Educational background Problems and obstacles • Accessibility issues affecting those with low level education Information • Among other things mobility in old age depends on the level of education: The higher the level of education, the higher the degree of mobility. Recommendations • To attract people with a low status of education access channels on local migrant organizations, associations and clubs, in whom the target group is already involved, appear useful. It is often helpful to involve mediators for the specific addressing of the target group. • While planning new programmes special emphasis should be put on participation. It should be checked whether the programmes meet the needs of the target group. Differentiated marketing tools must be developed in order to reach the target group. • While dealing with educational content not only the state of knowledge, but a balance of theoretical and practical components is essential; conventional seminary methods, however, are somewhat difficult. Programme units with practical work (e.g. as part of a volunteer project) and the inclusion and sharing of existing skills related to the theme of the project are recommended. A higher touristic proportion may be useful, especially for those with little travel experience the journey itself has a high learning effect. • Since people with a lower status of education often live in precarious financial situations special promotion or cost-effective offers should be provided for this target group (see also funding).

Senior-friendly programmes Problems and obstacles • Problems of accessibility of the target group concerning special programmes for senior citizens Information • In particular those with mobility issues expect offers which meet their needs. Addressing them as “senior citizens” or referring to programmes as “senior-deals” though is not useful, since that kind of approach implies help to special needs. Recommendations • Senior citizens can be reached most effectively if they get detailed information on the journey which serves as a good basis for their consideration of the pros and cons of participation and which allows an answer to the question whether potential barriers to mobility can be handled or not. • Those of severely limited mobility expect appropriate programmes, but this does not necessarily mean that the participants should be members of one age group only. In many cases intergenerational activities are desired which are nevertheless conceived with regard to the elderly. • Since senior citizens often have a greater need for safety (see safety), it is recommended recruiting them by persons they know, in clubs and associations in which the seniors are already integrated. Adverts in newspapers or travel agencies are also taken seriously. • When recruiting participants, the internet is a useful means since many senior citizens nowadays use the internet as a source of information.
