The project, which will run until July 2022, responds to the urgent need for providing specific support to the cultural and creative heritage sector in a challenging environment. DigiTraining will provide a large number of selected organisations new and upgraded digital audio-visual capabilities combined with the management tools and knowledge tools to maximise the benefit from them.

DigiTraining is specifically targeted to benefit small or midsize museums, as well as other tangible or intangible cultural heritage organizations which include structures and facilities accessible to the general public.

DigiTraining’s consortium is composed by a highly experienced team from five different countries with complementary skills and competencies to respond to the urgent need for providing specific support to the cultural and creative heritage sector. This team merges tested expertise in digital technology research, execution and training; in direct support on management and innovation for start-ups and midsize organisations; in media, communication and audience development in the cultural sector; and in audio- visual & virtual reality production for the arts and cultural heritage.

The Programme is structured in 3 levels: the General Programme will provide many organisations with a combined training on digital and audiovisual technology, as well as on digital-related management; the Specific Programme will provide up to 6 organisations with mentoring through a specific training programme resulting in a strongly increased capacity in digital skills as well as in strategy and management tools to deal with them; finally, through the Qualified Programme a maximum of 3 selected organisations will benefit at no cost from the production of a virtual or augmented reality audiovisual project specifically adapted to their mission and narrative, together with the strategic and managerial advice to best integrate it in their activities.
