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 to, freedom, create and/or forum:
“What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealthy of seas, the spoils of war?—
They sought a faith’s pure shrine!
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found,—
Freedom to worship God.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
“On the farm I had learned how to meet realities without suffering either mentally or physically. My initiative had never been blunted. I had freedom to succeed—freedom to fail. Life on the farm produces a kind of toughness.”
—Bertha Van Hoosen (1863–1952)
“If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one.”
—H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)
“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)
