S.I.L.V.HER training path includes the digital tool, not only as a means of learning, but also and above all as a future means of developing a strategic sector that will support a process of European identity recognition .

The blended, or mixed, course will be divided into two types of activities: online training and transnational mobility as face-to-face training sessions. This course will be divided into three modules: Management of cultural projects, Digital storytelling of intangible cultural heritage, and Augmented and virtual reality in the cultural sector.
