The warm-up “Assembly” lasts five to fifteen minutes, depending on the expansion stage, topic selection and participant strength. First and foremost, it serves to get to know each other better and through play.
The participants are given different questions and then have to arrange themselves in the room according to a pattern they have to find themselves.
For example, the group lines up one after the other according to shoe size, or they sort themselves out in the room, on an imaginary map of Germany or Europe, where they woke up or wanted to wake up in the morning.
After the participants have found their places, the moderator can ask about the results – which sometimes leads to surprises. The assembly can be done with groups of five or more and just as well with 50. However, it fits best at the beginning of a training or workshop and when the participants do not yet know each other (that well).
