Cultural heritage goes beyond monuments and collections of objects – it encompasses traditions and living expressions passed down through generations, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, and traditional crafts.
Digital storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Based on the use of digital tools, it allows us to create immersive stories that transport people to the most iconic places and moments of our cultural heritage.
Applying digital storytelling to our intangible cultural heritage breathes life into our traditions, creates emotional connections, and makes them appreciated by all, while preserving our identity.
The consortium involves 6 partners from 5 different countries, covering different culture-related areas and contexts within the EU, as Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal, and Italy), Central Europe (the Netherlands), and Eastern Europe (Latvia) are represented.
