Published by Mark Webster from Staffordshire University in Artist Newsletter June-August 2008 (magazine has 30,000 subscribers in UK). Mark Webster is a community arts teacher and practitioner. He was our guest during the final event on April 26th.
This book is the record of what was successful and what failed in the course of the Animator project. It is a guidebook for all those, who now would like to undertake culture animation activities by themselves.

AUTOR MOTOR ANIMATOR is a contribution to the discussion on culture animation and culture management and art management in Czech and European contexts.
Go on and read it for discussion – reflections – talks – impulses.
The book has been published by Spolek Richelieu within the ANIMATOR project as a conclusion of the three-part discussion project on the culture animation, culture management, its studies and practice in Czech and European context.
To read more, we publish the pdf version of the book, where the english summary is possible to find at the end.
What are – if any – connections between idea of culture animation and community arts? What are roots of community arts in England and of culture animation in Poland? Who are people belonging to "tribe of active culture"? What could be possible use of etnographic research for culture animation?
We ask these questions – and try to answer some of them – in the book Locally: Culture Animation / Community Arts based on our findings from ANIMUS and ANIMATOR projects.
Text on etnography and culture animation in English (.doc)
"If the word “relationship” has been stamped all over the job description at the task level, or the level of specific professional experience, then it should go without saying that it has to be evident in the way in which culture animation-related tasks and initiatives are presented. If the words “contact”, “person”, “relationship”, “bond” and “communication” are at once the primary key terms and the foundation on which the practice of cultural animation has been built, then they should be present wherever the results of cultural animation projects are exhibited. This is why it was hard to envisage an "Animation Initiatives Market" (AIM) along the lines of a "fair", like a book fair, a job fair, a tourism fair, etc. when planning the ANIMATOR project" – writes Małgorzata Litwinowicz.
And this is why the final event of April 26th was not only a platform for promotion of ANIMATOR’s results but – above all – a pilot event testing a model for exchange of ideas in education and practice in culture animation.
Book prepared by Association "Studnia O" – the group of storytellers in the framework of our previous project ANIMUS.
It present the idea of storytelling as a tool for culture animation and narrative experience of members of the group. It includes also examples of projects.
We present introduction into idea of "wonders" workshop – a replicable model of activity in urban space providing exploration of city wonders and miracles as chosen by its inhabitants. The introduction was presented by Brendan Jackson on April 16th at Tarabuk, Warsaw and on October 4th at Kaunas.
Other version of the text was also published in "op.cit" nr 27 (4/2007) – available to download in pdf format.
DISHINIT is a project I have been working on in Stoke-on-Trent, in the West Midlands. If you happen to be in England, everyone is welcome to the launch event at The New Vic Theatre in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
In addition to our main website http://www.laundryline.co.uk/ we have created a Facebook group for Laundry
Our Facebook page is intended to be a more informal place, where people can see and comment on the activities of Laundry and its members.
We invite everyone to have a look.
