| Sometimes
called social animation. From the classical word anima (life, soul, fire,
auto-movement). To stimulate or mobilize a community so that it moves
itself, so that it lives, so that it develops. |
. |
Sometimes used
as a substitute for mobilization. Animation means uniting and mobilizing
the community to do what it (as a unity) wants to do. |
, ,
| Community
Empowerment takes social animation a step further, using management training
methods to further increase the capacity of the community, or its community
based organizations, to decide, plan and manage its own development.
It trains community members and leaders in management techniques needed
to ensure the community takes control of its own development. |
. |
It also encourages
and trains government officials, local authorities and community leaders
to abandon the patronistic role of providing facilities and services.
They learn to facilitate communities to identify resources and undertake
actions to provide and maintain human settlement facilities and services. |

| Management
training differs from orthodox training (which emphasizes skill transfer)
in that it is used as a method of mobilizing and organizing (or reorganizing)
a management system. See "training for action." See "community
management training." |
. |
While originally
developed for senior managers of large commercial corporations, it is a
useful method to add to social animation in strengthening or empowering
low income communities and groups. |
