The second part of the serie of public discussion will be held the 24st of January in Alfred ve dvoře Theatre in Prague. This debate is specialized on the regional cultural NGO´s and their practice.
At the first debate we tried to define who is animator of culture and manager of culture in Czech republic as we still do not have the official definition of this conceptions. Than we tried to ask how should be these people educated and if we do have adequate education for this disciplines/activities.
Now we would like to invite people who we could be called „cultural animators“ in regions of Czech republic and we would like to discuss with them how looks real practice and how should be students prepare for this reality and if the education offers what the practice asks. We would like to ask them how they were educated as we do not have any cultural animation studies in Czech republic and how they would like to be educated for the practice they are use to.
We are documenting this discussion and we are going to rewrite it for our planning publication.
By the first debate called CULTURAL MANAGEMENT CULTURAL ANIMATION AS STUDY DISCIPLINE? we opened very interesting and very little explored area and we found out that it would be very good study material the publication with the rewrites of the debates and reports from people interested in the subject. We start to cooperate with Department of production at Theatre Academy Prague because they consider our project as very important and interesting for their students and pedagogues too. At the first debate, there were about 60 people coming. There was students of Theatre Academy in Prague, Brno and Bratislava, pedagogues of these schools, students and pedagogues of Academy of fine art in Prague who are opening the course of Cultural management, students of the Faculty of Art at Charles Univerzity in Prague , pedagogues of Salezian University in Opava who would like to open department of Cultural animation.
We cooperate also with Nová síť/new web project (www.novasit.cz) and Alfred ve dvoře theatre (www.alfredvedvore.cz).
The last part of this debate will be a conference entitled CULTURE ANIMATION…? which will take place on the 25th of February in Alfred ve dvoře Theatre from 10 till 18. The conference will be held with the participation of experienced practitioners from czech regions, students and pedagogues of the Theatre Academy in Prague and the Faculty of Art of Charles Univerzity Prague and international partners of the ANIMATOR PROJECT. We would like to compare the concepts of cultural animation in different environments.

First one about pedagogical experiences students´ of KATaP outside of Academy, at schools, at open public seminaries lead by students and graduates of the Department in cultural spaces across the regions of Czech republic . It is about and for graduates in practice, about their experiences. We are going to ask how the graduates use their knowledges from studies and how they could bring their practice experiences back to studies, what are the differences between study and practice.

The festival as well as both discussions are open for public as we would like to open wider debate.
