You are invited to the Creative Forum this Sunday at Russell
Square.
A collectively self-organised conference for linking with others,
discussing, and planning. Use the event to reach people to help
make your projects happen. Come along and talk about any new ideas
you have, or prepare to foster new ones. By participating more actively,
the conference can be more responsive. It's just a matter of suggesting
a session and announcing it, via central noticeboard and facilitators.
A session can be a presentation, a call out, a discussion, a plan...
Everyone agrees to the 'Law of two feet': if you feel you are not
contributing or gaining from a particular session it is fine to
move on to another. This creates a focused, creative, informal environment
to be in. Add to the shared list of 'wants and needs', to tap into
the skills and resources of those gathered for the event.
The event features a debate done in a Cogers-style on the 'state
of the world now and the challenges that face us', with speakers
introducing alternative technologies and diverse business models.
A debating method as way to negate the difficulties of networking
and the meeting of minds. Towards the evening films and accoustic
music will start - NB special request for participants in this -
but the workshops and open-space sessions will continue on through
to the end.
Leap-frogging from this event there is to be much more public event
at a later date specifically for expanding and actively promoting
the projects. Creative Forums are a gathering of capable and knowledgable
people to pool our resources and create solutions. A creative, environmental,
grass-roots, forward thinking atmosphere. Come to share your projects
and to learn from others.

creative visions of another world: harmony; inclusivity; participation;
empowerment; authentic communication. The Creative Forum exists
as a space for bringing together different and diverse groups and
individuals to meet and share and network alternatives to the conventional
way of thinking with regards to global political ecological and
ethical relationships.
