ANIMATED Creativity Toolkit online!

Through this final publication, the partners of the Animated Learning Partnership wish to share working  methods that engage communities to participate in the multicultural, creative economy of Europe. We have sought to reflect upon the feedback we have received in the course of the past two years, as colleagues and partners enjoyed immediate exposure to new insights and effective practices presented to them by partners from Bulgaria, Hungary and Germany. Professionals who favour innovation through culture will, hopefully, learn from the pages that follow exactly how those objectives developed in terms of EU Informal Learning Life Long Learning objectives.

Methodology: the ANIMATED partnership applied a very simple approach - each partner exposed their colleagues and partners to a specific methodology, policy and practice that focused on expanding creative and inter-cultural skills through cultural production. Concrete elements of CREATIVE STRATEGIES relevant to the EU are analysed in this toolkit. Each topic has a general section (theory) followed by a specific example (practice). On the final pages, useful links related to the topics will help readers to continue their professional development in these areas. As beneficiaries of the ANIMATED Creativity Toolkit, you can learn to plan and organise informal learning events. You will be able to move high level products and professionals in arts and culture towards practise-based informal learning involving adults and kids. An animated cultural experience is the future.
