The personalistic-communitarian1 dimension of sociocultural animation

Abstract

This article highlights the need to ask questions concerning the gist of sociocultural animation and to reflect on it not only by animators but also the staff educating future animators, and preparing people for playing the role in local communities. I also put forward my own approach to one of the dimensions of animation, i.e. its personalistic-communitarian nature. My line of thought fits the topic of this volume of Ars Educandi, as it discusses the conditions of development and functioning of human beings (in this case animators and the animated), and in particular its sociocultural determinants I am most interested in.
