Finally the book presenting curriculum of postgraduate studies for high school teachers of study of culture and for practitioners is ready.
The project of an newly-formulated program of postgraduate studies for teachers is associated with the idea of postgraduate studies for practitioners of culture. Of course, the specific goals for these two kinds of participant – teachers and culture animators – will differ somewhat. Teachers will still be taught to teach cultural science in the course of their studies whereas for culture animators, activity is their profession and their priority . The program’s aim is to ‘animate animators’, provide them with anthropologically grounded animation skills, update their knowledge, encourage them to go beyond the institutionally consolidated image of the world, in which culture happens in a local council cultural centre, most likely on a stage. Despite these differences in specific goals, however, we assume the program will remain an integrated whole. After all, teachers play a role as a practitioners of activity in the culture and culture animators are also teachers.
Book includes curriculum itself, commentary to it and detailed programmes of classes and workshops. Its available in Polish. We attach also introduction to the book (curriculum and commentary) and the programme of media workshop in English.
