Pluralisme et développement culturel : défi pour l’animation

Abstract

In the current context of neurotic urbanization, marqued by conflicts bound to pluralism, sociocultural community developers adopt an approach of cultural democracy. But can this perspective favorable to the cultural blooming of communities apply in rural areas ? Indeed, as well in the developed countries as those of the South, an informal system sometimes develops far from urban areas next to the educational official system of school. The creation of youth homes, community centers, sports and other complexes, contributes to the development of the individuals and the communities in these localities. This vision requires to rehabilitate the role of sociocultural community developers too often reduced to that of the public entertainer. Sociocultural community development must be able to set up itself as a vast field of creativity. It consists in co-creating with the individuals, groups and communities activities of leisure susceptible to improve their cognitive, moral, psychological and physical structure. Sociocultural community development works at a proximity level.
