====== What arouses strong emotions in us? How do we react? ======

===== Objectives: =====

  * Defining what arouses strong emotions in us in the way our society works
  * Identifying how those emotions influence our behaviours and reactions

===== Scenario =====

**Duration:** 45 minutes.

Before the exercise starts, draw two **[[http://outofthebox.viabrachy.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=out_of_the_box:wheel_of_emotions-_robert_plutchik.jpg|wheels of emotions]]** by R.Plutchik on the ground using painting tape. 

First introduce shortly the participants to the wheel of emotions : What it is, how it works, which basic emotions it represents, how it enables people to precise their emotion's intensity.

Give them then 7-10 minutes for **individual reflection** to answer the following 7 questions:
  * What makes me angry in society today? How do I react?
  * What saddens me in society today? How do I react?
  * What makes me happy in society today? How do I react?
  * What gives me confidence in society today? How do I react?
  * What disgusts me in society today? How do I react?
  * What frightens me in society today? How do I react?
  * What arouses my interest or my vigilance in society today? How do I react?

Divide the group in two groups of 14 people (1 per wheel).\\
Invite participants to answer to each question within **2 minutes** with a different person each time (4 minutes per round).\\ 
**Their position** on the wheel will tell at the same time the **emotion** they are dealing with and the **intensity** of it. The more intense their emotion is, the closer they have to stand from the wheel's center ; the less intense their emotion is, the further they will stand from the wheel's center.

===== Material required =====

  * Painting tape to draw 2 wheels of emotions by R. Plutchik on the ground
  * A flipchart with the questions written
  * A flipchart with the wheel of emotions.
