Freedom To Create Forum
In 2010, Freedom to Create launched a new initiative, the Freedom to Create Forum. This is the first in a series of panel discussions which aims to debate the challenges and opportunities for women in building creative and prosperous lives, families and communities.
The Forum will be held on 24 November 2010, at the Moataz Al Alfi Hall, The American University in Cairo. The panel will feature guest of honour and 2010 Prize judge Jehan Sedat, moderator Femi Oke and be accompanied by Mariane Pearl, Dalia Ziada, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and Dianne Laurance.

Famous quotes containing the words freedom, create and/or forum:
“Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.”
—Christopher Hill (b. 1912)
“But genius looks forward: the eyes of man are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates. Whatever talents may be, if man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his;Mcinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
