Welcome to the BuildaBridge online forum; we hope this will become a place where people will exchange ideas and experiences relating to a wide range of topics (from transformative arts to the best international shipping options for an NGO).

Be sure to read over our rules section to get an idea of the protocols and tone we’d like to set for the forums. We are expecting lively debate on some topics; however, we also expect that the conversations will remain civil.

If you’ve come directly to the forums via an internet search, be sure to check out the rest of our site. BuildaBridge is on the cusp of greatly expanding our ability to network artists and partner organisations; this forum is a preliminary means of doing this and discussing how we are to go forward. (On that note, feel free to mention other organisations and their work; this isn’t meant to discuss BuildaBridge exclusively but to extend the scope of what all of us are doing).

In the incoming weeks, we will write several “seed” threads to prompt discussion; in the interim, feel free to post new threads in the topics we’ve defined. If you’ve suggestions for additional topics, please e-mail me (I am moderator).

Thank you Jason, for providing an opportunity to discuss the important work of hope and healing through life changing art.
