EMOTIONS IN 3D® - for dialogues that open hearts and minds.

When it comes to our emotions, opinions vary greatly and these opinions often only tally superficially. If a more in-depth exchange is needed or more intimate understanding is sought, the EMOTIONS IN 3D® trigger an unforeseen effect. These three-dimensional shapes invite people to talk, be they old or young, eloquent or self-conscious. They automatically begin to talk about emotions. The shapes help people to grasp the differences and congruities in simple terms and understand how important each and every opinion is. As a matter of course, people begin to engage in respectful dialogue addressing individual points of view and perceptions – dialogue which opens their hearts and stimulates their minds.

The Emotions in 3D® give people a fun and entertaining way to approach the topic of emotions and make us more conscious of many aspects of interpersonal communication. This works especially well with people who rarely address such issues. We have a carfully selected set of 13 shapes (each approximately 18 cm in height and made of high-quality polyamide) that can be held in the hand, for use in adult education, early education and therapy. The shapes can therefore be integrated into a wide array of established teaching, training and therapy methods. Particular success has been achieved in groups of mixed cultures or ages, and in the case of language deficits. The shapes can contribute to:

1.) Sensory activation (seeing, touching, hearing)
2.) Improving analytical faculties (observing and abstracting)
3.) Word and language development (visual descriptions and describing emotions)
4.) Dialogue skills and conflict management (neutral communication)
5.) Sensitisation to differences of perception (one’s own perception and that of others)
6.) Inward and outward self-confidence and social integration (behaviour free of judgement)
7.) Communicating values (esteem, respect, honesty, self-confidence, sense of responsibility, etc.)
8.) Integration (cross-linguistic and cross-cultural implementation)
9.) Prevention (pressure release and a safeguard against overreaction)

60 shapes have been developed so far, each of which can be focused on individually:

confidence, helpfulness, friendship, sympathy, curiosity, change, activity, flexibility, affection, courage, empathy, development, idol, vision, knowledge, safety, honesty, self-esteem, happiness, fame, respect, self-confidence, satisfaction, fulfilment, love, pride, optimism, pessimism, superficiality, uncertainty, loneliness, conflict, lethargy, hatred, rage, thoughtlessness, ignorance, failure, depression, aloofness, fear, panic, suicide, release, mourning, unrequited love, lie, envy, greed, creation, destruction, threat, effort, desire, ...


NOTE: The titles are approximations of the shapes and their effects, and many of them do not correspond with academic descriptions of emotions. As there is not always a precise word that encapsulates an “emotional effect” and since words can have more than one meaning, each title is designed to elicit the essence of and topics relating to the shape in question.
