As physical restrictions disrupt our lives and our lifestyles shift to more virtual formats for work and leisure it’s easy to feel a sense of separation from our identities.

AI, VR, NFT, Blockchain… Let’s find out if digital tools are useful for the development of culture or do they take work from trained professionals? What are the pros and cons of digitalization?
How can the cultural, tourism and educational sectors benefit from digitalisation? Do we have enough knowledge and skills?
