Spark Creativity
Step 5 helps readers to design a new creative activity or modify an existing activity in a community. It addresses a number of critical issues relevant to developing artistic programs, including community values that affect artistic production; social, material, financial, and spiritual resources required for events; people who need to be involved in the creation process; and possible opportunities and barriers. It also offers guidance on how to develop the following types of sparking activities: commissioning, workshops, showcase events, mentoring, apprenticeship, publications, and creators’ clubs. Finally, Step 5 provides examples of sparking activities that relate to three main issues: identity and sustainability, health and well-being, and human rights. For each of these issues, readers are presented with examples of practical activities for designing artistic programs, real-life case studies from around the world, and relevant resources for further study.
