After the editing mode is switched on, all editing options are available to you.
Create forum
Select an appropriate topic (default) or week in the week view and click on "Add material or activity". It does not matter if the topic is empty or already contains other activities or materials.
In the following selection dialogue select Forum and click on "Add". This creates a task in the current section and redirects to the settings page.
