Creative Interaction
Updated: Sep 23, 2019
There's a creative in all of us, with a little guidance we can unlock it. It takes courage to try and unlock that creativity with a group of strangers as it may leave one with a sense of vulnerability. We show participants how to use art as a medium to engage and form relationships between individuals in artistic group exercises for the greater good of society. Participants are provided with the tools needed for designing and implementing activities for group problem solving in challenging times.
Creative interaction is one of the many modules offered by BAP. The Butterfly Art Project prides itself on providing our beneficiaries and Community Art Facilitators with the best possible training, facilitated by the best trainers. The training programme currently offers 13 modules, with a variety of subjects to produce well rounded CAF’s that have the skills and expertise to help us fulfill our mission.
In the Creative Interaction module participants discovered how to form relationships between individuals in artistic group exercises for the greater good of society. Participants were exposed to how groups can bond through creative and artistic interaction. Community Art Facilitators were given practical experience in group facilitation, how to understand group productivity, and how to read group dynamics. They were also provided with the tools needed for designing and implementing activities for group problem solving in challenging times.
This training was special as we had our very own Heart for Art Team Leader, Charles Jansen co-train with trainer Sanet Visser. Charles had started his journey to become a trainer earlier this year. Charles, with tons of experience in working with children had to adapt his skills to train adults to become Community Art Facilitators (CAF). With the growth and success, he's shown in Heart for Art, he was a natural trainer, engaging with participants and providing them with first hand advice on how to be the best possible CAF for their children and respective communities.

I love the idea that creativity exists within everyone and can be unlocked through encouragement and collaboration. Using art as a way to bring strangers together is a powerful approach to building trust, expressing emotions, and developing meaningful relationships. Group creative activities can also encourage people to see challenges from different perspectives and work together toward positive solutions. Similarly, Omezy provides an opportunity to talk to strangers from around the world, exchange ideas, share personal experiences, and discover different viewpoints. Sometimes, a simple conversation with someone new can inspire creativity, build confidence, and open the door to meaningful connections.
I love how the community mural and Building Bridges activities helped strangers connect through creativity. Starting a conversation can take courage, whether in an art workshop or chatting with strangers on camex. A shared interest and a willingness to listen can be the beginning of a friendship.
Unlocking creativity through group art is a powerful way to build relationships and solve problems in challenging times.

This is an inspiring example of how practical experience and a genuine passion for helping others can turn someone into an effective trainer. Charles Jansen’s transition from working directly with children to training adults shows the value of adapting skills to new roles while continuing to learn. I especially like how his firsthand experience allows him to offer practical advice that participants can immediately apply in their communities. Similarly, Thundr Alternative can create opportunities to meet new people, exchange experiences, and learn from individuals with different backgrounds. Meaningful conversations can broaden perspectives and inspire new ideas, just as community-based training can create positive change.
