In Working With Obstacles, Christian Nerf and children draw by stepping over obstacles in the A4 foyer.

Teaching Teachers is a process in which Christian Nerf shares a drawing technique with a student, who then becomes the teacher and is able to pass on the lesson in turn.

Polite Force sees a band of children perform acts of politeness to strangers in Buitenkant Street and surrounds.

Gimberg and Nerf's boat becomes the venue for storytime as children pile into the reconstructed boat in A4's studio. In 2009, the boat was the site for Gimberg Nerf's collaborative project, Escape to Robben Island.
