Community Art Facilitators who participate in BAP's Project Cocoon will learn the basics of creating a sustainable development organisation, developing quality programmes for children and managing an effective monitoring and evaluation system. 

Those that enter Project Cocoon will undergo intensive individualised needs assessments culminating in a mutually agreed Memorandum of Understanding to formalise our partnership. Those CAFs who become Cocoonies have access to a performance related stipend to a maximum of R5000 per month (strictly allocated through a tried and tested points system), regular mentoring support and access to resources like art material donations. Partnering CAFs will be required to submit Child Development Assessments for a minimum of 10 children/youth every school term and participate in 20 x child case study hubs, 20 x artists hubs and participate in at least 48 hours of BAP training, including fulfilment of the module’s PMEL, POE &/or homework. Options as follow: 1 x 24-hour BAP module (in full) and 8 x 3-hour workshops / 2 x 24-hour BAP modules / 16 x 3-hour workshops.
