Hi Melanie,
Apologies but my my email crashed last thursday and all my emails have been lost. Could you please email me your contact details so I can back to you!

Cheers Dean

Hi Melanie please could you help me look at funding opportunities for schools & the community.

Cheers Dean

Graham, please keep me in the loop, i'm sure we might be able to think of ideas throughout the Empaf group!

Cheers Dean

Dean,
Early days and early thoughts on maze ideas, shape and size at the moment not too sure, but its got to be big enough for a good number of people to wonder around, yes sculptural, moveable between sites etc, but Im looking into a structure that can be changed, or the shape of the maze changed to fit sites and complexity.
Im looking to get an ACE grant to research and pursue some thoughts.
Graham.

Hi Graham,
Really like to listen to your maze idea! What shape will the maze be, size, will there be sculptures in the maze, does the maze change shape if it is moveable? Love to hear more!!!!

Hey
re the comments on Twitter and EMPAF networking, each of the profiles has a place for people to add their twitter account details, which if they do will add their latest tweets to their profiles and the site. I guess then that if you check out other profiles you'll be able to go to their twitter accounts from there and in that sense the site is already a database of accounts.
EMPAF also has a twitter account which I'll be using to update on EMPAF news and events (now that I think I’m starting to get my head around twitter a little better - grin) but if I'm still missing something that twitter can do that we can't on this site can you let me know?
Also, I think these comments are great but suggest to get more conversation going it might be worth putting them on the forum rather than in comments section as it will open it up to more people who might not be that interested in this news item?
Again, if there is a forum heading or something that you think will help get that going more effectively please let me know.
Thank you

What Do You Think About Networking On Empaf Website At The Moment?

Empaf should be all about various participatory artists, organizations, councils or businesses which use community based projects to network together. i.e. share experiences, talk about the pitfalls, working alongside each others organizations and achievements working alongside councils, schools or even projects funded by corporate businesses.
My personal opinion it seems extremely quite on this site especially 'networking' as we should be able to talk freely between each other. I encourage all participants involved in Empaf to talk together similar to a type of twitter experience getting to know each other in small limited messages.
I have already posted articles on this site but it would be nice to even get some type of response even if it's negative.
I do hope we can use this site to really network between each other, their is no such thing as a one man/women business, to make things happen, it's all about 'networking'.

Hi Fiona,
Welcome to the Empaf website, do you have a website, visuals, anything that anyone from Empaf could listen too?

That sounds a great idea! Who has a twitter account on Empaf! If we know where we all are, just think how much easier its gonna be to communicate to each other.

Perhaps Empaf can put a database of Twitter accounts/facebook & etc so it will be easy to find and talk to each other!

It would be great to build a community on here. For myself I find forums difficult to use (maybe something to do with so many topics being started), so smaller bite sized comments in one feed could be easier to dip into. Perhapsone thing EMPAF could do it create a Twitter list of all EMPAF participants, so we can follow each other on there too.

Hi Dean,
Yes, good to discuss possibilities and lets hope one arises, marcus

Hi, as you are aware I am from the Leicester and have been working on health projects since 2005. I don't seem to be getting anywhere with Leicester City or Leicester County Council. Surely health projects should be shared, please let me know if I could attend?

Hi Marcus, as you are aware your stuff is great! One of my favorite activities with schools is character design! Wouldn't it be great to do workshops together.... Cheers Dean

Hi Haley,
How re you, what you been up to? Still not been able to Kevin Ryan, maybe one day?

Hi Vince, great meeting you yesterday and many other interesting people working within the community arts field. The empaf website looks like it potentially will be a great site however not much happening on here at the mo, how is it being marketed at the moment and to who? Been wanting to do something with you for ages, really like to meet up again as I hope we can both assist each other in one way or another.

Cheers Dean
