Projects Descriptions and Aims
The University of Canberra (UC) is partnering with artsACT to host the Creative Recovery and Resilience Forum. The Creative Recovery and Resilience Forum is a platform for exploring themes, issues and opportunities for the ACT creative sector relating to recovery and resilience. The Forum is also a platform for the projects in the artsACT Creative Recovery and Resilience Program.
The Forum supports the ACT creative sector by seeking to strengthen sector networks and build capacity through delivering public activities that enable dialogue, knowledge exchange and the sharing of practices. The Forum will adopt a creative-led approach to the delivery of its nine activities.
