Subsequently, the employees were assigned to three working groups, which had the task of exchanging information and working on the topics until the next LTTA: 

Working Group 1: Establish contact with low-threshold projects in the vicinity or known low-threshold projects (consumption rooms, street work, contact stores) and ask them about their experiences and concepts with regard to the target groups.
