Project “ Interactive platform for digitalization of museums” (InterDIGImuseum)

The epidemiological situation caused by the spread of Covid 19 has put the need
for digital transformation in Europe on the agenda. The novel coronavirus pandemic
has badly affected all sectors, but the world of culture has been hit hardest,
earliest and perhaps most visibly. This raised the question of people level of
digital skills and competencies. This forced cultural actors to rethink their
activities and competencies and to turn to digitalization, which is a modern way
out of the crisis. In response to this, the project envisages conducting trainings to
increase digital competences and skills for the preparation, creation,
administration and digitization of metadata, information and artifacts. Cultural

figures will learn to work with various modern software and equipment designed
for recording, filming, scanning and other activities in order to convert digital
objects and objects of cultural heritage. Participants in the trainings will also
acquire skills for innovative promotion of digitized content, as well as be able to
develop and apply concepts for effectively reaching different audiences in
promotion.
