Creativity is an abstract word that generates attraction, perplexity and sometimes feelings of distance, can be an "other" look, a method, and a game. The idea of the Italian team to propose to the European Group during the Transnational Project Meeting in Sicily (Bagheria / Palermo18-19-20 October, 2017) to experience the direct relationship with art was an intuition. An intuition that arises from the need to offer all participants a transformation experience produced working with Art, in a suspended and safe time to overcome language barriers, roles, functions and anticipated expectations. As if individual and collective "baptism" was needed to find a shared and familiar language in order to be able to believe in art as a real work tool in training and therefore in the ultimate aim of the project: to take care of the health workers, starting from us, from the need of caring and expressing each of us. To get out of the speculations and grids of the project so that everyone comes into the challenge, they expose themself as people who know each other in different way and face a small trip together. The artist chosen, the place, the interaction between participants would be variables, the outcome of which would have been uncertain. It is once again a question of cultivating trust and trusting "to the other." An exercise that aims to regain creativity as an inheritance, and which it does not expect excluded, winners and defeated people.
