New facebook forum

We have known for sometime that Google+ is closing down in April 2019. This is the only home that #creativeHE has every known so it is quite a big emotional wrench to abandon our place of on-line conversation and interaction, not to mention the accumulation of 5 years of resources and a subscriber list of nearly 900 people. CN was the founder of the Google+ Forum and we discussed and looked at a number of alternative ‘free’ platforms but there was nothing remotely comparable. In the end we decided to set up a facebook group which we launched on Feb 3rd. I don’t like facebook very much and it might put some people off joining us but the onus is on us to make it work. So the job of rebuilding a community and a culture of participation begins all over again and in the first week we have managed to attract over 60 people. Only time will tell whether we can create a self-sustaining participatory community.
​
We are an inclusive community and we welcome anyone who is interested in creativity and would like to share their thoughts, feelings, experiences and practices..
