What can you do with it?

Experts in cultural heritage communication can analyse, plan and implement initiatives aimed at communicating the cultural heritage. The cultural heritage concept is to be understood in a broad sense to include not only artistic and monument assets, but also other material and immaterial elements contributing to shaping a given culture (food, traditions, celebrations, etc.). These professionals also perform consultancy work in the design and implementation of spaces and tools devoted to the enjoyment of the cultural heritage (museums, exhibition areas, cultural itineraries, promotional tools such as brochures, virtual applications, videos, etc.), which need to be effective from a communication point of view; they can also offer specialist advice concerning verbal and visual communication (in particular within cultural institutions, public and private foundations, libraries, archives, etc.).
