9. Introduction to Group Work
 Some “rules”:
 Look at all aspects around the theme
 Try to get as many questions as you can
 1.5 hours of discussion can generate lots of
ideas
 Use this time efficiently
 In case a group has covered everything on a
topic in less than 1.5 hours, they may join
another group
