The resume looks pretty good to me. Few things I would change: Depending on what the job you're applying for requires, I would make the skills text bigger and the Work Experience somewhat smaller. All of your skills are being swamped out by what you've done in the past and it makes the resume seem empty to me.
Another thing is that only one item is bolded in the activities section, and because of how the rest of the resume is formatted, it looks like all of your activities are somehow involved with that. Perhaps unbold it and move what you do there to the side of it with a dash separating them.
Lastly, and I've read this quite a few places when I was trying to put my resume together, leave out the References available upon request part. It is a given that they can ask for references, so it just takes up space and is useless text on a resume.
As for format it's pretty well done. As another suggestion to add to something I mentioned a bit earlier, it might make the skills section more legible if you bulletpoint the skills you have under each subcategory and split them up into two columns in that section to use up better space realty on the page. This way, they're easy to read and figure out what you can do.
That's all the suggestions I can think of right now. Best of luck!
