Please use 15 minutes (or as much time as needed) for summing up what you worked with between the last session and this one:

  • Did we succeed in doing what we planned?
  • What was easy to do and what was difficult?
  • What did we learn from doing what we planned?
  • How did we cooperate and take responsibility?
  • What can we do better next time we work between sessions?

Please remember: it is okay if you experienced problems – this is a new way of working, and it takes some exercise and experimenting before it becomes routine.
