This report presents three pilot activities launched by the TRAMA project: a strategic support process with the Gianfranco Ferré Research Center, a series of focus groups with interdisciplinary teams from the CHANGES project, and interviews with policy makers. The report outlines the tools developed and shared during these activities, the different stages of pilot implementation, and the key outcomes. By recounting the experiences of the pilots, it highlights the reflections shared by the various actors involved, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges, skills, and opportunities related to the digital enhancement of intangible heritage.

The document presents a selection of digital initiatives aimed at enhancing intangible cultural heritage and identifies emerging professional profiles linked to these processes. It constitutes the deliverable D1.1 of the research project "TRAMA. Trasformazioni culturali. Patrimonio intangibile e nuove professionalità digital-driven" (TRAMA. Cultural Transformations. Intangible Heritage and New Digital-Driven Professionalities). Projects were selected based on criteria such as relevance to UNESCO domains, contribution to the (re)activation of heritage, use of digital technologies, recognition as best practices, and incorporation of creative or design skills. Sources include industrial reports, design awards, scientific literature, EU-funded project databases, and sector events.
