"The project ""Digital Heritage - New Opportunities for the groWth of the cultural sector"" is a collaboration between different organizations in order to integrate new technologies for the interpretation of cultural heritage in real and virtual environments as a tool for non-formal education, with emphasis on dissemination of knowledge about culture and opening new opportunities for the development of the cultural sector.The COVID-19 crisis has hit cultural and creative industries particularly hard, with ICT proving to be the only way to communicate with the public and the only way to do business. On the other hand, these same technologies are gaining ground as a good perspective for developments beyond the current situation. The crisis was the reason for the rapid restructuring of the otherwise traditional sectors, which have so far been too slow to integrate new technologies into their field of work. The situation in the education system was similar. Many institutions were unprepared for the transition to distance learning, and the available digital tools were empty in terms of content related to the learning process.In this regard, the current project proposal is a response to the crisis, but also an example of innovation in the cultural and creative sectors, which provides a new horizon for the development of industries and cultural education, as well as an opportunity for the active involvement of young people in the process. heritage preservation and dissemination of cultural knowledge.The transnational cooperation will improve intercultural dialogue, reinforcing the idea that the things that connect us are more than the things that divide us. In history, in the present and in the future, we can and must seek 'unity in diversity', and it is the young people on whom the practical application of good wishes depends.In order to promote intercultural dialogue and support youth activism and engagement with heritage issues, the project envisages short-term mobility in the countries of the partner organizations. The young people will take part in training and practical training. This will create new opportunities for cooperation and will open new perspectives for the professional realization of young people in the cultural and creative industries. The project ""Digital Heritage - NOW"" will create three intellectual products related to the common theme - ""Presentation of cultural heritage in ruins through innovative technologies."" The project will end with multiplier events carried out in each of the countries of the partner organizations.
