Creative Links Forum
Creative Links was set up in November 2006 as a forum for young people interested in the arts to come together to plan and develop arts activities and opportunities for other young people in Clackmannanshire.
The main projects they have worked on to date are 'pARTy @ Click' and the Arts Academy 2007 which are detailed below.
The forum also organise arts trips for young people and are developing these through the launch of the 'pARTy pass' as well as attending events as research for developments in Clacks. The group aim to provide all of the activities free of charge or for a small subsidised fee.
