Team player, cooperation, experience with teamwork. In today's working world, these are no longer unfamiliar terms and are increasingly sought after by employers. And not without reason. Good, organised teamwork not only utilises the resources of diversity and individual strengths to develop fast and far-reaching strategies. It also contributes to a more pleasant and healthier working environment by sharing the workload and thus reducing the pressure on individuals. But how can these necessary skills and experiences be acquired when our education system focuses on strong individual performers and promotes competitive thinking from the outset? This paper focuses on the life and learning of a study group and describes the necessary prerequisites for gaining group and team experience, trying out different roles as part of a team, and acquiring knowledge about group dynamic processes that can be drawn upon later in professional life. Accompany twenty-five students through a team-building experiment on their way to becoming fit for work.
