About Digitraining

C-Factor is member of the European consortium DigiTraining (Creative Europe programme — Digital and Audiovisual Capacity Building for Accessible Heritage).

Co-Founded by the Creative EuropeProgramme of the European Commission, DigiTraining provides small and midsize museums, and heritage institutions with the digital skills and the managerial tools to benefit from them and render culture more digitally accessible.

DigiTraining is set to run until July 2022 as a response to the urgent need for providing specific support to the cultural and creative sector in our current challenging environment.
The training is provided by a team with expertise in digital technologies, supporting innovative start-ups, developing and engaging audiences across communication and social media platforms, and with know-how on producing audiovisual material for the arts and heritage.


Structure of the capacity-building programme

The Programme is structured in 3 levels:
- the General Programme provides many organisations with a combined training on digital and audiovisual technology, as well as on digital-related management;
- the Specific Programme provides 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 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.
