CAC 2 316 CAC 2 2. Brainstorm with the participants all the feelings that a woman experiencing domestic violence may have (e.g., fear, anger, loneliness, sadness, vulnerability, shame, depression, confusion, etc.). List participants’ contributions on flipchart. 3. Divide the participants into four groups and ask each group to choose one of the emotions listed. As a group, they have to describe to everyone else what their chosen emotion feels like, and then illustrate this with a story about someone who felt that emotion and how they dealt with it. For example, if a group chooses ‘anger’, they may describe what it feels like (physically and emotionally) to be angry using examples such as shortness of breath, tightness in chest, acute frustration, wanting to lash out, etc. They may also tell a story of a neighbour who came home to find all his things stolen and what he did with the anger he felt. Give the groups about 15 minutes to prepare. 4. Ask each group to present their work, and discuss each group’s ideas. 5. Emphasize that domestic violence creates powerful emotions in people. An effective listener helps the speaker make sense of what s/he is feeling and understand the experience so that s/he can think about what action to take next. Effective listeners avoid giving solutions and instead focus on helping the speaker understand their situation. Activity 2.19 Revisiting Action Plans (1hr) Objective ■ Review and update Action Plans based on what participants have learned in this workshop. Steps 1. Ask participants to think about all the discussions and activities during this workshop and to write down some of the key things they feel they have learned. Emphasize the discussion around building networks on Day 1 (Activity 2.4). 2. Ask participants to identify three specific things that they will do in their work/community/sector, based on what they learned. 3. Ask them to look at their Action Plans, assess what changes they will make to it, and how they will build in new activities that reflects the aims of the this phase. In their Action Plans, they should also apply what they have learned from this workshop and from their work since the last workshop. 4. You may choose to do a group brainstorm or ask participants to work in pairs if they need assistance getting ideas flowing. 5. When they are ready, ask the participants to get in pairs and share how they will modify their Action Plans after this workshop. If time allows, instead of discussing in pairs, ask the participants to present their revised plan in the main group.
