It came to light that such resources worked more than triggers for the conversations, they were triggers for youngsters' potential. By getting in touch with several artistic languages and after conversations it was possible to conclude that the thoughts eluded there led to action and allowed a tendency to change by supporting participants' autonomy. It was noted a possibility of group as an optimizer, a space where several subjects lead youngsters to think and then to act which used to be lethargic and an unknown search of possibilities.
