DIGITIZATION OF INTANGIBLE HERITAGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL NARRATIVE (STORYTELLING)

The consortium has carried out the digitization process of various materials in different media: audio recordings; documents; videos and photos. The material was identified by the partners in the existing archives and repositories of IEFEM-BAS and ADA, as well as in other non-digitized collections at the local level.

The final product has been assembled into a virtual collection that is accessible to the public through this platform.

The work of this task was organized in five stages:

Definition of the type of narrative that would be used to show visitors the digitized heritage
Initial review and identification of existing material in rural archives and collections.
Final selection of material and media to be shared.
Digitization of selected heritage, usability testing and translations into partners' languages. more samples] [a .pdf they prepared in the archive
Quality evaluation

The collection of digitized intangible cultural heritage is accessible through a facial control system, audio descriptions and subtitles in the video storytelling, both on the App and on this online platform.

VIDEO STORYTELLING

Video storytelling has made it possible to develop common narratives of different traditions related to specific themes (religious processions, harvest festivals, various celebrations in the rural world).

The catalogue and its stories are divided by theme. Each partner has put together a compendium of 20 different videos interconnecting the heritage of Spain, Italy and Bulgaria.
