Challenge

PLUGGY framed its objectives around the Faro Convention, in line with new social paradigms which declare cultural heritage as an asset and a responsibility for all, aiming to encompass greater democratic participative actions with concern for the local and the everyday. The specifically developed PLUGGY web platform facilitates a continuing process for creating, modifying and safeguarding heritage where citizens can be prosumers and maintainers of cultural activities. Content is both crowdsourced and retrieved from digital collections, allowing users to create links between seemingly unrelated facts, events, people and digitized collections, leading to new approaches of presenting cultural resources, and new ways of experiencing them.
