At the very core of The Creative Exchange is our Cultural Forum—a passionate group of local residents, artists, and volunteers who bring their creativity, insight, and dedication to shaping the cultural life of Ebbsfleet. This dynamic collective embodies the community-led ethos of The Creative Exchange, ensuring that every project, event, and initiative reflects the voices, ideas, and aspirations of the people it serves.
A Community-Led Initiative
The Creative Exchange is guided by the principle that the best ideas come from within the community. The Cultural Forum is a shining example of this, offering a platform where individuals of all backgrounds can come together to contribute their perspectives, expertise, and enthusiasm. Members of the forum work collaboratively to identify the kinds of artistic and cultural activities that would resonate most with the community, ensuring that our work remains relevant, inclusive, and impactful.
The Cultural Forum meets monthly to exchange ideas, brainstorm new projects, and strategise on how to bring them to life. These meetings are lively, open, and welcoming spaces where everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and take an active role in shaping the cultural future of Ebbsfleet. Ideas generated in these sessions often evolve into real-world events and projects, with members directly involved in their planning and delivery.
From festival concepts to workshops and pop-ups, the forum has played a vital role in steering some of our most successful initiatives. For example, the forum helped develop and guide events like Fiesta Latina and African Fusion, and contributed to the planning of immersive experiences such as Tales of the Lost Worlds.
Whether you’re an experienced artist, a community-minded resident, or simply someone passionate about arts and culture, the Cultural Forum welcomes you. This is a space to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from one another, and collaborate on exciting projects. Many of our members find that participating in the forum is not only creatively fulfilling but also a great way to build friendships and strengthen ties within the community.
