This article focuses on one of the aspects of a project carried out in a school located in the South Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, with three groups of young people between 14 and 16 years of age, taking as its analytical outline the importance of the researcher's non-neutrality and his / her consequent influence in the perception of group demands and in the qualification of the possibilities for creative expression, with a view towards the recognition of the other and the facilitation of the process of elaboration of the relationship with the external world. Thus, we choose as our viewpoint the explanation of one of the five moments of the project in question, which is to say, that which is specifically related to the "collective doing", experienced through a "creative doing". The ideas of D. W. Winnicott have special significance here, mainly regarding his concepts of "Transitional objects and transitional phenomena".
