| THE CREATIVE ACTIVATION FORUM The Creative Activation Forum is a networking body for facilitators of creative community projects. It was initiated by face [fe(male) activation through creative empowerment] as part of the ansisters event in August 2005. Through this forum we hope to create networks, exchange information, broaden resource bases, investigate opportunities and identify obstacles. We hope to create a platform for the convergence of related creative initiatives that could ultimately become illustrative of the powerful contribution of arts and culture as a tool of socio-economic development and catalyst for positive change in our country. Thus far the forum has been facilitated by Eugenie Grobler, Anni Snyman, Katty Vandenberghe and Janine Lewis. Facilitators for 2006/7 are being sourced. If you are interested in facilitation, please contact THEMES During our meetings a range of themes have presented themselves. If you feel you can contribute or would like to do a presentation on any of these, please contact .
