abstract: 'Background. Traditional municipal services are not successful at
reaching Turkish seniors. Compared to native Germans Turkish seniors
have a lower social participation.
Objective. Do native language groups hosted by aGerman organization
promote the social participation of Turkish seniors? How does social
participation take place in the ZWAR networks (between work and
retirement; aproject to strengthen social participation of seniors) and
which factors promote or reduce social participation?
Material and methods. Qualitative structuring content analysis of two
group discussions, which were based on guided interviews.
Results. The social participation of Turkish-speaking seniors was
strengthened on three levels: (1)through regular meetings of the Turkish
ethnic group social relationships were promoted and German language
skills and other skills were improved. Through mutual sharing and
understanding of the stressors specific to migration, emotional support
was provided. The sharing of mutual cultural and linguistic backgrounds
created asense of community and meetings were perceived as an antidote
to migrants'' exhausting lives in German society. (2)At the
organizational level, participation was promoted through extensive group
events. Regardless of their cultural background all participants
identified as equal ZWAR members. The ZWAR project functioned as an
umbrella organization for participation in the intercultural context.
(3)Participation in community events created contacts with community
stakeholders and fostered volunteer work. Hence, participants were able
to use their skills, and therefore broaden their horizons.
Conclusion. Turkish ZWAR networks promoted the social participation of
members because integration with their ethnic group reduced access
barriers, broadened members'' scopes of action, and created new
opportunities for participation.'
