In order to design a proper Audience Development Plan a transnational
approach will be followed by CREARCH Project staff. The audience
development will cover transversally common goals and target in all the
partner countries. Attention will be given to new tools to engage
audience, such as crowd-sourcing and online platform: CREARCH Project
trust in the power of digitalization and online sharing of common
values. The project believes that gathering online the potential
audience and collecting knowledge and ideas could have positive benefits
in the creation of a better engagement for new audiences.
To design a common and shared base of tools and knowledge the Fondazione Banco di Napoli has participated at Transkribus User Conference in Wien (09/11/2018) in order to scout the opportunities of new Handwritten Text Recognition technology and use it in the context of Audience Development Plan. This activity was carried out in collaboration and in contact with ICARUS Hrvatska and represents one of the possible transactional channels for the described activity.
