Introduction to Working Groups

Why working groups?

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
