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.'
