== Commonwealth People's Forum ==
The [http://www.peoplesforum.britishcouncil.org 2007 Commonwealth Peoples  Forum]  took place  in Kampala, capital city of Uganda from 19th to 24th November 2007 under the theme '''''Realising Peoples Potential'''''.  The purpose of the Forum is to provide a space for interaction among Commonwealth civil society organisations, and between such organisations and government. 

Apart from the forum, there  was an exciting, interesting  '''''The People's Space''''' an open, interactive area and a hive of activity. Cultural performances, mini-workshops, films for conversations, multi-media and for the first time ever at a CPF, the building of a People's Wall of Greatness, was  central to the People's Space. 

Thousands of people left  the People's Space with renewed energy to facilitate social change with a clear sense of building the future together.  It  also attracted participants from other CHOGM events including government officials, the youth, and business community.
