The sociocultural animation takes part in the improvement of the local environment, sets up of the events, proposes activities and contributes to bring to a successful conclusion projects.
It took its rise with the installation of the Popular education.
It is not the nature of the activity which defines animation, its specificity resides in the fact that the participants in the various activities draw up between them reports/ratios of which rise for them from the benefit: the activity itself, the personal development and reinforcement of their network of sociability.
Sociocultural animation thus allows the development of the Social relations of those which take part in it and the increase in their autonomy. It is thus not defined only by activities of which one could draw up the list, nor by a degree of implication of the professional organizer. It is held so much inside that outside the vacation centres or of leisures.
One can however distinguish various fields of action where sociocultural animation plays a big role:
- field of event-driven,
- field of the prevention,
- field of the holidays and the leisures.
These various fields are in their manners of working, and by the object of their actions, completely different from/to each other. The public on the other hand is the same one (for example: young people of a district) like their total motivations also (for example: a project of popular education). This is why there exist structures where all these fields cross, and it is then the occasion of a joint work. For example, a youth club and arts center (MJC) can shelter a social worker, a recreational center and be the place of cultural events.
The professionals of this branch are called the sociocultural stimulating .
One distinguishes the voluntary animation, sanctioned by a patent, professional animation, sanctioned by a professional diploma.
Sociocultural animation in the field of the event-driven one
The speakers of this field are titular of a professional diploma, such as for example:
- HAD it social Career - option sociocultural animation or the BEATEP (Patent of State d' Animateur Technician of Popular education and Youth) with the Option " Organizer of cultural project for Childhood and Jeunesse".
Sociocultural animation in the field of the prevention
In this precise field, sociocultural animation plays a fundamental role of detection and social orientation in the districts and the cities. Each individual takes conscience then that it can be built, to develop by itself. It is that sociocultural animation proposes to develop the company, the districts with the tools installed by its population. It is this intermediary, this discussion thread which wants to bring closer the individual to his own culture, of the company in which he evolves/moves. Lastly, sociocultural animation offers places where the people testing of the difficulties must be able to find listening, assistance, councils, and orientation towards the existing supports. These places are for example:
- the Youth club and arts center (MJC)
- the neighborhood house
- the Arts center
- the social center or sociocultural
- the Hearth of young workers (FJT)
- the rural household
In a general way, animation thus plays here a part of Prévention. In this field of sociocultural animation, the speakers are before any holders of a professional diploma, such as for example:
- the DEDPAD (in the course of replacement by the DESJEPS)
- DEFA (in the course of replacement by the DEJEPS)
- the BEATEP (replaced by the BPJEPS)
- HAD it social Careers - option social and sociocultural animation
- the professional license social intervention
Sociocultural animation in the field of the holidays and the leisures
The sociocultural action also has as tallies the Vacation center or of leisures. The public is exclusively minor here there, since these structure have the right to accommodate children in age to be provided education for (often of 2 ½ years at 18 years).
The originality of this approach is to lead the individuals to leave their medium of everyday life. Animation consists of the accompaniment of Enfant S and young people in their projects of Vacance S and Loisirs, as well in the organization of the Daily life as in the discovery of many activities.
Various structures
Attention: Since September 1st, 2006, the definition of the vacation centres and leisure changes. New types of structures appear: short stay, specific stay, reception of young people. The thresholds minimum in term of many children and of night are also modified (decree 2006-923 of July 26th, 2006).
-
Reception of leisures (in the past Recreational center without lodging).
- Stay of holidays (in the past Vacation center or " colo").
- Séjour runs (in the past mini-camps) which should not exceed three nights.
- Stay specific reserved to the children of more than 6 years and whose object is the development of particular activities (stays with dominant sporting for example).
- Reception of young people reserved to the young people from 14 to 18 years for a manpower from 7 to 40 minors maximum.
These structures can be animated by speakers having the statute of volunteer or professional. A stimulating is a responsible person able to allow the Sécurité moral, physical and emotional of the children. It is also an agent of relation supporting the respect between the people and the blooming of each one as an individual within the group. However it is true that the framework of the holidays makes it possible many the individuals to exteriorize its daily concern, and thus to advance with great step in the resolution of the personal conflicts which are theirs.
Voluntary animation
The speakers are quasi-exclusivement titular of a nonprofessional diploma:
- the BAFA for the organizers,
- and BAFD for the directors.
The voluntary organizers engage, apart from their principal activity (study, work…), to take part punctually in the organization of holidays for young people. These people perceive a compensation for their action. In 2005-2006 the organizations of popular education and the state started a reflection in order to pose a precise legal framework upon this engagement. This reflection has leads on the relative law to the associative voluntary service and educational engagement (published on May 25th with the Official journal).
Professional animation
Since many years sociocultural animation in the field of the holidays and the leisures professionnalise.
In 1988 the national collective agreement of sociocultural animation is signed. Since 1993 the hospital public office recognizes by decree the function of professional organizer. In 1997, the die animation was created in the territorial public function. Since the 2003 only titular people of a professional diploma can direct recreational centres accommodating during more than eighty days a manpower higher than eighty minors.
The professionals of animation work in a permanent way in the field of the holidays and the leisures. They have professional diplomas defined in the decree of March 21st, 2003.

Concept of engagement
The concept of animation is combined ineluctably with that of engagement, and incidentally of voluntary help and/or militancy. Indeed, that it is before or after the professionalisation of this sector, the voluntary ones very often played a paramount role in the design, the installation but also the follow-up of the actions, and this in various fields (cultural, social…). It is besides thanks to their intervention that good number of initiatives can be carried out and to renew itself (educational projects, sociocultural festivals…).
