Relationships and emotions: recognizing, managing and accepting sadness in relationships with others

Online – Lab in English by Dr. Elisa Turano

The workshop will be divided into two parts:

In the first part the emotion of sadness will be introduced, with the help of scenes from movies, art, literature. Then students will be involved in mapping the emotions through brain storming. The goal is to immediately understand that there is no absolute reality, but that everything is strongly filtered by our subjectivity and the way we perceive what surrounds us.

The second part will focus on knowing and recognizing sadness and how it often refers to a dimension of loneliness. How can you address sadness in a relationship? How much can you show others? Is it right to share it? Through teamwork and watching scenes from films and television series, we will try to reason and answer some of these questions.

All labs are available for PoliMi students and Phds, free of charge. In order to register to the activities, please enter the dedicated page
