Capacity Building

Empowering the cultural heritage sector with innovative knowledge and skills

Advocacy icon

The role of knowledge and information as a source of sustainable advantage for all institutions is recognised as being at least as important as physical capital.

The general strategy followed by MCA consists of gathering and exploiting all knowledge built upon the various activities carried out and the results achieved within projects in which the association is involved, and transferring this knowledge base to project stakeholders, active network members and to the wider network of associated organisations. 

MCA invests in two types of Capacity Building activities in order to strengthen or accelerate internal CHIs’ processes in digital transition, with the support of experts and teachers:

  • The implementation of online and in presence sessions to train and exchange knowledge with participants, such as webinars and workshops. Topics varies according to the projects objectives but generally revolve around the themes of Digitisation of cultural heritage, Sustainable digital transition, and Heritage activation and participation. 
  • The publication of educational and informative documents focusing on key themes of the digital cultural sector.
    A first publication has been already developed to describe the framework, objectives, activities, and results of five educational projects, presenting some of the educational materials developed in the last years, also providing a link to the website where all of them can be downloaded.
