• Defining what arouses strong emotions in us in the way our society works
• Identifying how those emotions influence our behaviors, reactions and social commitments.

Duration: 40 minutes.

Before the exercise starts, draw to wheel 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 5 minutes for individual reflection to answer the following 7 questions:

• What makes me angry in society today? What is my reaction regarding it?
• What saddens me in society today? What is my attitude regarding it?
• What makes me happy in society today? What is my behavior regarding it?
• What gives me confidence in society today? How do I behave regarding it?
• What disgusts me in society today? What is my reaction regarding it?
• What frightens me in society today? How do I behave regarding it?
• What arouses my interest or my vigilance in society today? What is my reaction regarding it?

Divide the group in two (2 x 14 people). Distribute each group on a wheel.
Invite then 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.

• Painting tape to draw 2 wheels of emotions by R. Plutchik on the ground
• A flipchart with the question written
• A wheel of emotions per person.
