The perfect robbery
Format and tools
- 4-5 days of 5-6 hours per day

- the other is empty and spacious
- Plenty of coffee, water, and tea
- 1-2 organizers, who prepare the joint process and later become part of the group

Timeline
The course of the workshop is self organized; the participants organize the planning themselves. However, the organizers determine some key dates in advance:
- Day 1: Introductory round and visit the bank
- Day 2: Mini-workshop and movie night
- Day 3: Second mini-workshop
- Day 4: Third mini-workshop
- Day 5: Fourth mini-workshop (possible) and final performance
