	Don't have time to give you the essay version now but here's a short
answer....

	"Form a nucleus of" implies that the *****hood already exists. "Form a
nucleus for" implies that it does not exist, but should be created. To
me, "form a nucleus of etc." means to make people aware of that it
exists.
