Cumulus Conference Proceedings Roma 2021, Volume #2 (pp. 1325-1336) Edited by: Loredana Di Lucchio, Lorenzo Imbesi, Angela Giambattista, Viktor Malakuczi https://cumulusroma2020.org/proceedings/http://hdl.handle.net/11447/5709Co-creation is a broadly used practise among service designers, as a workshop is an effective way to build new solutions or improvements together. The focus of this article is on the emotions arising before and during the co-creation workshop and a reflection on what influences them. The first purpose of this article is to deepen the understanding of emotions that emerge in the co-creation workshops that are commonly encountered by the different participants. The second purpose is to determine if there are other factors that influence the experience of co-creation. In this article, emotions are considered a human response—consciously or unconsciously—that connects human beings with their surroundings. This connection has an impact on people’s emotions and determines their experience, attitude, behaviours and interactions in the workshop environment.pp.1325-1336enEmotionsCo-creationCommunityInteractionHuman surroundingsOther
