To make the “Animation Roads” possible, FAXCINATION collaborates with regional Institutions, groups and individuals in order to collect the sequences of images needed for the Animation Roads. These are generally produced during workshops that take place in the framework of the Institutions programmes. Workshops also take place at school or in youth centres.The groups and partners who decide to be involved in the FAXCINATION projects are generally sensitive to the following aspects.

FAXCINATION offers an opportunity to discover networking collaboration within a creative project.
The FAXCINATION creation uses the ICT for graphics, animation and interactive content. The tools used for its creation are seldom explored for group creation (networking creation). Learning these tools offers many advantage for artists, students and their teachers who are living in an increasing ICT environment.
The FAXCINATION project can greatly contribute to the implementation of the Education For All (EFA) programmes that these regional partners are developing.

IMAJ, which stands for Institut de la Memoire Audiovisuelle Juive participated to the FAXCINATION project in 1997. At that time, the organizers have launched a "FAX session" in which kids from Macao (China) and kids from Brussels collaborated together in the making of a fresco using A4 pages sent from one side to another. After 3 hours of distance working (10.00 km), both groups could hang the same fresco in the two cities. IMAJ whose activities are mostly orientated to the education through films on Jewish subjects, aims to take part to a future Animation Road where kids from the different countries of the Middle East will be involved. This Road will be called the "Road Map. IMAJ decided to collaborate on the Rice Road as Delegated Producer as a first training for the organization of the Road Map. (http://www.imaj.be)
