Project Cocoon
Project Cocoon is a programme for Community Art Facilitators who want to establish (or strengthen) their community-based art organisations that focus on children and art; those that want to partner with BAP. This programme offers capacity building support and opportunities to learn how to mobilise resources like their own art materials, equipment, funds for salaries and other general expenses. Community Art Facilitators (Cocoonies) who participate in BAP's Project Cocoon learn the basics of creating a sustainable development organisation, developing quality programmes for children and managing an effective monitoring and evaluation system.
Participants have at least monthly intensive personal coaching with deep reflection and learning spaces, facilitated by professional coaches and mentors.
