Focus Group by TATICS in Italy: Insights Driving the DIGIHERIT Training Pathways

As part of the DIGIHERIT Erasmus+ project, TATICS Human Evolution organised a national Focus Group on 14 May 2025, held in Perugia and online, bringing together entrepreneurs, freelancers, educators, and cultural operators involved in heritage and micro-business development. The discussion explored how digital transformation and targeted training can enhance the visibility, resilience, and sustainability of small enterprises rooted in culture and creativity. Key findings and how they inform the DIGIHERIT curriculum:
Digital readiness: Participants showed moderate digital maturity — active on social media but lacking structured digital strategies. This need is addressed in Course 1: Entrepreneurship as a Universal Competence.
Hands-on learning demand: There is strong interest in practical training on storytelling, multimedia tools, and online learning, reflected in Course 2: Heritage Micro-business Integration.
Barriers to growth: Limited time, resources, and budgets for professional support were highlighted as key obstacles, incorporated into Course 3: Managing Entrepreneurial Challenges.
Cultural storytelling: Participants expressed great enthusiasm for linking digital tools with local identity and creative heritage narratives, inspiring Course 4: Creativity and Innovation. These insights underline the importance of accessible, practice-oriented, and context-specific digital training. Feedback gathered by TATICS directly contributes to shaping the DIGIHERIT curriculum and MOOC, helping local enterprises turn digital innovation into sustainable growth.
