Day 29 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 29 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: A Quiet Conversation
💡Designed By HIVEMIND - A Social Care Creative Collaborative
In social care, and in life, no one thrives alone. People, objects, and environments are constantly in quiet conversation, supporting us in ways we sometimes overlook. A hand reaching for another, the comfort of a familiar chair, the shared rhythm of daily routines, these connections help us all get through the day. For people living in care, these moments of interdependence are not only vital, they are deeply human.
Sometimes, what stands out most is something that looks or feels different from its surroundings. A single flower breaking through concrete, a person whose story takes another path, an object placed out of place. Yet even in difference, connection and support hold these things steady, just as the care system helps carry those who need it most."
Your challenge: Look closely for hidden connections.
• Where do you notice people, objects, or places relying on each other?
• How do small, ordinary interactions create extraordinary meaning?
• Where does difference find its strength through connection?
• What stories do these connections tell us about belonging, care, and
resilience?
Respond in any form that speaks to you, a photograph, a sketch, a poem, or a reflection.

Day 28 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 28 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: My Book
💡Designed By Public Libraries with @librariesconnected
Imagine the title of the book you’ve always wanted to write or read. 
Create the front cover and title front cover of that book. What images, symbols and colours could you use to represent the themes in the book? What do you imagine the characters or world in the book to look like? If you like, you could create a simple zine to further imagine the book you want in the world

Day 27 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 27 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Weave Together
💡Designed By Wales Arts Health and Well-being Network @wahwncymru
in Partnership with @hapus.wales
Today's theme is 'weave'. To create a weave, use natural materials like sticks or leaves and weave them together to create a simple pattern. 
You could also use strips of paper or material or pastry…or your fingers! 
Reflect on what you have woven together in your life - the people, places, ideas and experiences. What do you hope to weave together in the future? What weaves are you part of? 
Weave | Gwehyddu is Wales’ national arts, health and wellbeing conference. The conference organised by WAHWN in partnership with Wrexham University and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, aims to bring together 150+ creative practitioners, health and social care professionals, and policy makers from across the country to celebrate Wales’ arts and health programmes and address the need for a long-term preventative approach to tackling health inequalities and pressures on services.

Day 26 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 26 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Connect the Object
💡Designed By 64 Million Artists Community
Pick 5 random objects around you and gather them together.
Find a connection between all of them, no matter how random your selection! What do they have in common? 
Write about what connects them. The connection might just be you! You could write about what they all mean to you. Do you feel differently about them now you see them together and in relation to one another? 
If you can't make a connection between them, create one! Write a story that includes all the items and link them through a narrative.

Day 25 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 ⭐️Creative P Day 25 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 
⭐️Creative Prompt: Window Reflection
💡Designed By artist Graeme Roger, in Partnership with @luminatescotland
.
Use your phone or camera to capture either the view from your window.
Don’t overthink! Take what feels honest, not perfect.
Consider how light, shadow, time of day, or weather influence the view.
Take multiple shots, from different angles, with/without you in it.
Has your view of the world, or yourself, changed over time?
How does the world appear through your current lens?
"I collaborate on creative projects with people of all ages and I’ve had the privilege of working with older people in care home settings. I use cameras and technology and this has been a very accessible way to make work. This prompt is designed in a way that can be done as a solo challenge or one with a carer, friend or relative. Participants of all ages can give it a try."

Day 24 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 - one more wee Day 24 of #TheJanuaryChallenge 2026 - one more week to go! Here’s an apt prompt to explore what we’ll be saying goodbye to in January! 
⭐️Creative Prompt: A Funeral for...
💡Designed By 64 Million Artists Community 
Think of something you have been meaning to let go of.
It might be a chapter in your life, an old habit, a piece of clothing or an old banana in the fruit bowl...
Hold a funeral for it. Celebrate or mark the time you had together with it. 
If it's a feeling or event in your life, you might write your thoughts down and speak it aloud - letting it go into the wind. 
If it's an object, you might pass it forwards, re-purpose it, or simply take the time to say thank you, and goodbye. 
This prompt was co-created in a 64MA community group with @deadgoodlegacies, creative death workers and arts-based death educators.The brilliant 64 Million Artists Community also includes @mindbodyandearth @emmuk74 @kellomallow @kfoxmusic @windowwanderland @riannapatterson_ @yurupari.london and more!
