Why working groups? 3

Why working groups? • Working in a team is nicer than working alone • Intensive analysis of a particular subject of particle physics • when working on tasks/problems one has to cope with various challenges -> find your own/team strategies and reorganize knowledge in your brain • chance for you to not only receive information but rather do something, become creative, . . . • Improve the quality of our programmes by further developing activities • better understand your colleagues 4
