Piccoli Musei in viaggio

"<< Background >>The project was born from the desire to give national and international visibility and strength to small local museums, which hold the historical culture of the territories in which they are located. Thanks to the collaboration of associations working in the same field, they can organize important cultural museum events. Small museums are true hidden treasures, but at times difficult to reach. Therefore, the project aimed to provide educational and digital tools to the participating organizations in order to help small museums ""get discovered"" within Europe and to spread the culture they house.The target of the project was small museums and local cultural organizations. The reasons behind the conception and implementation of the project were to provide the target group with specific and adequate technological tools, to increase their knowledge on the digitization of local heritage to improve its accessibility, and to promote the dissemination of an innovative approach among museum managers in local contexts.<< Objectives >>The project aimed to help small museums enhance their strengths in promoting local cultures. The specific objectives have been to improve digital, marketing, and communication skills in the museum sector, share good practices among small museums and local organizations in the digital sector, and increase the international dimension of museums. The planned activities concerned specific training courses and cooperation between partners thanks to which participants have learned how to use different digital promotion tools. << Implementation >>The planned activities concerned: the collection of information on all the advertising tools that the EU and the projects financed by it make available to museums; the inclusion of the Museums participating in the project on these platforms/webapp; specific training in the field of museum digitization also using the results of the Erasmus ""Museum Sector Alliance"" (Mu.Sa) project; the production of a practical guide ""Small museums on the go"" that helped other museums grow.<< Results >>The results have been the ceration of practical tools to simplified the inclusion of the Museums on all the identified tools (platforms and various apps); the definition of a long-term digital strategy; the preparation and dissemination of a practical guide for small museums, the increase in the number of face-to-face and online visits for the museums involved; at least one school in the territory of each partner discovered very distant museums and small, often hidden treasures."
