We
begin a revolution with a conversation. ICAF organizes several forums
to address the importance of children, the significance of their
creativity, the usefulness of their artistic talents, and the magic
of their imagination. Discussions and dialogues bring the adults
together to effect changes in attitudes, policies and institutions.
These forum provide the support, the research and the intellectual
nourishment required of the “ChildArt & Creativity Revolution.”
