The ARCHAEODIGIT project is pleased to announce the release of the twelfth episode of its podcast series, “Digging Digital: the ARCHAEODIGIT Podcast.” Developed within the framework of the project's training and communication activities, the series explores innovative approaches to the valorisation of archaeological heritage through digital skills, communication, sustainable management, and audience engagement.
Following the thematic structure of the ARCHAEODIGIT Joint Training Courses, the podcast series brings together experts and practitioners to discuss key topics related to the digital transformation and sustainable management of archaeology and cultural heritage. Through conversations and practical examples, the series provides valuable insights for cultural heritage professionals, tourism operators, researchers, students, public authorities, and anyone interested in making archaeological heritage more accessible, resilient, and sustainable.
Episode 12: Technology against barriers
The twelfth episode deals with accessibility and how digital technologies can help make historical and archaeological sites more accessible.
Hosted by Maria Emanuela Oddo, archaeologist and Project Manager at ETT S.p.A., the episode welcomes Silvia Carosio, Junior Project Manager at ETT S.p.A. Together, they discuss how digital technologies can favour accessibility and what the main challenges are for administrations and sites to adopt them.
During the conversation, Silvia Carosio addresses several aspects of technology and accessibility:
- Accessibility: What are the main barriers to accessibility in historical and archaeological sites?
- Digital tools to overcome barriers: How can technology favour accessibility, even for those with motor or sensory difficulties?
- The main obstacles to digitalization: What obstacles do public administrations and archaeological sites need to overcome to become truly digital?
Continuing the journey through digital archaeology
“Digging Digital: the ARCHAEODIGIT Podcast” consists of 20 episodes, organised into thematic modules reflecting the project's training programme. Future episodes will continue exploring digital communication, innovative technologies, archaeological park management, heritage interpretation, audience engagement, sustainable tourism, and collaborative approaches to preserving and promoting archaeological heritage across the Adriatic-Ionian region.
The podcast series represents another step in ARCHAEODIGIT's commitment to strengthening the skills of professionals working in archaeology and cultural heritage, while encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange among institutions, researchers, tourism stakeholders, public authorities, and local communities.
