DIGITAL TOOLS
FOR COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION
Digitalization is all around us. In order to fully contribute to a digital
society it is necessary to have the right digital skills and the knowledge on
the right digital tools. Only then will you be able to successfully
communicate and collaborate. Digital technologies have an important
place in innovation, contributing to change, offering flexibility, but also
transparency, as well as creating a more modern society. Since the
Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) are among those innovative ones, the
lack of digital skills in the creative industries will result in the lack of
sensitivity to changing cultures. Therefore, digital tools give new
possibilities, but are also a challenge. Further speaking, with big amounts
of data and more users online, you as a crafter can benefit from the
exchange of knowledge, initiate, collaborate or simply communicate
with others through digital tools. Especially collaboration has grown in
importance with the increase in remote working and staying connected
regardless of the location. The situation has also provided for increased
flexibility and increased use of technology has ensured that distance is no
longer a constraint to communication.
When you think about communication, it is about staying in
contact.
When you think about collaboration, it is about sharing
resources, cooperating and inspiring others.
