Group work
The group work during the writing retreat is designed to help you set concrete goals for the working days and reflect on their achievement. In this way, you train your project planning skills and can learn from each other.
Procedure for goal planning and reflection:
Times are set aside in the program for conducting the reflection sessions. The collection of questions provides introductory questions to guide the reflection sessions. You may deviate from these questions. For goal planning, we provide a template that you can use, but do not have to.
Agenda
Please note: The time slots that can be planned individually are marked in bold. For example, the "work phase" can be freely arranged by the participants and can also include breaks or walks. The group meetings do not have to take place at the specified time, but should take place once a day.
