Procedure Part one 1. Divide participants in small groups and ask each group to come up with a task for another group – something they should perform or do – to make everyone laugh and help energise the group. Give them time to come up with a task. 2. Ask each group to present their task, but no one should start implementing the task at this point. Normally, the tasks would be somewhat humiliating or make participants feel somewhat uncomfortable. 3. Tell the participants that you have forgotten to mention one important condition of the activity: each group will have to perform the task they have come up with within their group. Invite them to do it. 4. After the tasks have been performed, you can invite participants to reflect or move on to the second part and make a combined reflection at the end.
Part two 1. Invite participants to make themselves comfortable, close their eyes and think of a recent moment when they felt happy: celebrating an achievement, doing something or being with someone that makes them happy, etc. Ask them to recreate this moment in their mind: where they were, with whom, what they did, what they felt, remembering smells, sounds around them, etc. 2. Having allowed enough time for remembering and reliving, ask participants to open their eyes and form pairs. Each participant of the pairs
