Summary/Abstract: The scientific conference entitled: Initiators, Designers, Producers of Culture Education and Culture Promotion was held from 12th to 13th October, 2010 in Cieszyn. The conference was organized by the Culture Education Unit – Institute of Educational Sciences at the Department of Ethnology and Educational Sciences of the Silesian University. The conference was prepared in the context of research conducted by the Cieszyn Centre for Developing Organizers of Cultural Activities. The studies were stimulated by a new model of activity and management in culture that emerged from two decades of the undergoing transformation, the newly released considerable creativity in terms of cultural activities; they were inspired by the need to remember about the most prominent people in this area of studies. Representatives of the academic circles from Gdańsk, Gniezno, Katowice, Kraków, Lublin, Olsztyn, Poznań, Szczecin, Toruń, Warszawa, Wrocław and Zielona Góra plus workers of the culture institutions, the educational centres and representatives of the local (county, city and village) authorities participated in the discussion about the role of individuals – the people important for culture education, culture promotion in the local environment as well as the most effective conditions of their activities. In the final conclusions which closed the conference, formulated by the Director of the Culture Education Unit, Professor Katarzyna Olbrycht, two important aspects were pointed out to: 1. in the process of culture education, socio-culture animation, and culture promotion one should devote more attention to searching for, remembering, portraying, promoting and supporting the individuals who are important for local and supra-local culture; 2. there is a need to pay a lot of attention to an organizer of cultural activities, a culture educator and a person who promotes culture as the individual who is indispensable to culture promotion (initiating, designing and producing activities for culture). It refers, above all, to the education and development of these people as well as to the evaluation of their activities.
