Interview questions:
Residents from Northern (Richer) and Southern (Poorer) Parts:
Where do you live?
How often do you travel to the other part of the city?
What do you think is precious about your part of the city and about the other part of the city?
How do you perceive the socio-economic divide between the northern and southern parts of Rotterdam?
What are some common misconceptions you believe people from one part have about the other?
Have you noticed any specific barriers or challenges that hinder interaction or understanding between the two parts?
In your opinion, what initiatives or changes could bridge the gap between the two parts of the city?

Dutch vs. Non-Dutch Residents (Internationals):
Are you Dutch or Non-Dutch?
How do you feel about the cultural diversity in Rotterdam? If you think there is division, what do you think causes that division?
Have you experienced any instances of discrimination or exclusion based on nationality or ethnicity? If yes what?
What do you think could be done to promote inclusivity and integration among different cultural groups in the city?
Are there any cultural exchanges or events that you believe have been successful in bringing people together?

Older and Younger Residents:
How do you perceive the generational gap within Rotterdam?
Do you think there are enough opportunities for intergenerational interaction and understanding in the city?
What prevents you from interacting with the other generation?
Are there any specific issues or concerns that you believe affect one generation more than the other?
What initiatives or activities would you suggest to promote communication and solidarity between different age groups?

Plan for conducting interviews:
Identify Key Locations: Choose diverse locations that represent different parts of the city, ensuring accessibility for all stakeholders.
Ensure Diversity in Participants: Strive to include a diverse range of voices from each stakeholder group to capture a comprehensive understanding of the city's dynamics.


one interview is with a member of the UNICEF organisation at university --> he is an international student that has lived in several countries and who is very well connected with fellow students from Erasmus, but not with locals

Important documents:
Symbiotic scan ------>

Generation games: ---> could serve as a role model for what we plan to do
- the organisation has already hosted events in Rotterdam --> could be asked for advise or infrastructure in terms of advertisement and getting permissions to host our planned event

1. IT’S FUN!
Above all, sport and play should be fun. Children, parents, grandparents love the Generation Games! Sporting together, intergenerational teamwork. In a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere. Participants of all ages enjoy this pleasant and positive ambiance.
2. MULTI-PURPOSE
The event serves a purpose. Actually, more than one purpose! The event has several objectives: in the field of community impact, education, social, health, inclusiveness. All connected in a logical way. Leading to inspirational legacies, lasting and measurable effects.
3. INTERGENERATIONAL TEAMWORK
Generations can learn a lot from each other. The event is about solidarity between generations, in a positive, uplifting way. Recognising that people at every age are of much value. During the preparations, and during the event itself.
4. FLEXIBLE
Set up your own edition. Each city can decide on the scale of their edition: number of sports, number of days, number of participants: you decide! Each hosting city adds a local flavor to the Generation Games creative concept, making it tailor-made.
5. IT’S SHARED!
Creative framework is available for any city around the world. No fee. No bidding procedure. Leading principle is ‘sharing’: every city being able to organise an edition and positive community impact. You can simply use it!
6. DO-IT-YOURSELF!
By and for the community. Preparing the event together is part of the fun! Fresh ideas connecting with valuable experience. Local expertise and enthusiasm by students, senior citizens, and others. Partnerships over sponsorships. Shared + easy = do-it-yourself.
7. THE CITY AS URBAN PLAYGROUND
Editions take place in the city center. The city itself chooses the location in the city center: the main square, a park, using connecting streets. A unique environment for the participants.
8. FOR EVERYONE
People of all ages take part, regardless how fit they are. The event is inclusive, everyone will feel comfortable in participating. It’s about collaboration, not about winning.
9. LOW BUDGET
Every edition can be realised with almost no budget. This is made possible by co-creating, barters with various partners (like local, national and international sports organisations and NGOs), no license fee, and availability of designs and creative format.
10. INTERNATIONAL
Each edition is ‘local’, the impact is global. All city editions together contribute to a positive movement. Cities become part of a growing ‘family’ of hosting cities.

Paul Veldhuijzen works very successfully in Rotterdam south --> bringing social change for youth in the south through sports

--> we plan on getting some information and tips from him, but so far there was no success

--> maybe we can even work with the help of both "Generation Games" and Paul Veldhuizen
