This essay adds practical details to the article, ‘An Emotional Literacy Programme’, that was printed in the previous issue. It lists topics that will be covered sequentially and as classroom activities for each topic. Clippings from films and excerpts from books are used to illuminate concepts. Case studies will be analysed and situations will be presented around which participants will model interactions. Role-playing will be used to internalise the training. This is a blueprint for an emotional literacy training programme for any community. It can be modified for specific groups such as nurses, teachers, lawyers or parents. This article being a sequel to the first, will not explain the meanings of concepts that were presented there, but will use the terms as though the reader understands them. Each topic can be taught over several sessions, and each group can decide if they want to dive deeper into some of them.
