Emotional Resilience Workshop

Trainer: Irmak Basoglu 

Date: May 3, 2025 

Purpose of Training: 
In this workshop, we look at emotions more closely with young people, recognize our vulnerabilities, and discover ways to cope with difficult emotions. We do this through play, improvisation, lots of laughter, and insight. 

Content of Training: 

1. Emotions Bus 
We get on an imaginary bus together. Each seat represents an emotion. Participants join the bus by embracing that emotion. It is both fun and thought-provoking. 

2. Resilience Chain 
Teams face crisis scenarios. The goal: To create an emotional resilience chain to overcome this situation. Each link in the chain is an emotion, an action. Then it all comes to life on stage. 

3. Inner Voice Theater 
What is whispered in our ear in those difficult moments? The inner voice comes to life on stage. The participants both play and direct. We look together at which voice supports us and which one pulls us down. 

4. Emotion Stop 
At the end, everyone chooses an emotion card and shares why they experienced that emotion in the workshop. We listen silently and applaud inwardly.
