Spanish term or phrase: animación sociocultural
Una especialidad dentro del rubro de trabajo social:
"gestión y gerencia social, ***animación sociocultural***, promoción familiar, gestión del desarrollo, etc."

Según la Red Iberoamericana de Animación Cultural:
"La Animación Sociocultural, entendida como el proceso en el que una comunidad se convierte en protagonista de su propio desarrollo cultural y social..."

He visto por ahí "sociocultural animation", pero no sé si realmente se usa esa frase en inglés.

socio-cultural animation
Explanation:
It does seem to be a viable term:

As participatory community arts and community theatre increased in quantity, quality and diversity across Europe, many of the ideas associated with it came to be taken up (in mutated form) within governmental and non-governmental agencies to do with social and cultural development. An early example of this was the establishment in 1970 of the Council of Europe’s Project on **Socio-Cultural Animation**, which over the subsequent eight years held various symposia of cultural workers, urban planners and other social theorists and produced a number of key publications._

A number of factors contribute to the success of participation in cultural activities and one of these is the
non- threatening, person centred approach that is used to enable the sustained engagement of the target audience.
This approach is a fundamental to community engagement and coupled with the socially beneficial aims of cultural
participation, increasing access to cultural opportunities and resources should be a priority as Elphick suggests in
“The Boundaries of Change – Community Work”:
“Community Arts, as part of ****socio-cultural animation***, cannot be separated from community development”
(CDF, 1980)
http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/dundeecity/uploaded_publication...

In both European and North American contexts, these issues
have been effectively addressed in strategies of ***‘socio-cultural animation’*** involving a wide range of art forms and experiences from paintings in shop windows through public art to festivals and street theatre.

agree  Deborah Lockett: yes, or "fostering of social and cultural activity"; "animation" sounds like a Spanish or French calque to me

  -> Cheers, Liz

agree  alidalc: On second thought, I think "animation" is better here.. I guess I didn't process the second half of the paragraph at first, but the focus here is not on entertainment at all, more getting people to participate in the community.
