Day 18 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 18 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Treasure Hunt
💡Designed By @gloscommunitybuilding
What treasures are there in your home, place of work, community or local neighbourhood? 
Spend 5 minutes or more exploring and collect anything you consider precious (that you are allowed to take!)
Gather your items and photograph, draw them or make a sculpture out of them, make a display to share with your neighbors or community. You could invite others to build on your treasure drawing or sculpture to build a bigger picture of what is treasured and spark connections.

Day 17 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 17 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Your Favourite Place
💡Designed By @nationalyouthartswales, in Partnership with @hapus.wales
Visit a favourite nearby place - it could be a quiet park, a bustling museum, a cosy kitchen or a windy countryside trail. Pause, close your eyes and listen. You might hear the chirping of birds, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the hum of a microwave or the soft chatter of voices.
Use your phone (or any recording device) and capture some of these sounds. Then add your own contribution to the sounds around you - recite a poem, sing a song or play an instrument. Let your voice or melody blend with the sounds around you. Record it all at once or mix the sounds later on your phone (or computer) to create your own unique soundscape - capturing the magic of your special place and how it feels in that moment.

We’re just about halfway through #TheJanuaryChalle We’re just about halfway through #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026! What will Day 15 bring for you?
⭐️Creative Prompt: Creativity is Potential!
💡Designed By @theagencyofchange
Look around you, and find one small object that stands out. Observe its color, texture and shape. What else could it be?
Change it to something outside of its normal use. Can you transform into something new - a sculpture, a poem or a story?
What are the hidden potentials in the object? Did this change the way you see it and open up new possibilities? How does it relate to other objects around it?
Share a photo of the object and a short story description that explains the exciting new possibilities it might offer the world. Invite others to think about what else the object could become, and explore more potential in the object together. 
"Young people, especially those from underserved communities, often face a world that underestimates their potential, labels them with negative stereotypes, and silences their voices. Through creativity, The Agency encourages young people, whom they call the Agents of Change, to uncover potential within themselves and the community, making change on the ground and in the world. It’s time to see things with fresh eyes, imagine boldly and bring new ideas to life!"

Day 14 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 14 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Blwyddyn Newydd / A New Year
💡Designed By National Centre for Learning Welsh @dysgucymraeglearnwelsh
Does the new year inspire change in you? What kind of change (or not)? Write a short poem that captures how you feel about the new year. You could call it 2026. 
As part of The January Challenge, today the National Centre for Learning Welsh is hosting a workshop with poet Ceri Wyn Jones, who will guide participants through a poetry writing session! "Poetry is integral to our culture as Welsh speakers, as is clear from the National Eisteddfod and the popularity of poetry in radio programmes and live events. This is an opportunity for our advanced learners to get to know one of the foremost practitioners in modern Wales and encourage them to engage more with this aspect of being a Welsh speaker."
