By identifying in research and training two of the fundamental values ​​of the ARCHiVe Center, since its creation in 2018, the Institution is committed to organizing training and refresher courses, not only for employees and collaborators of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, but also for students and external professionals.
The choice of issues to be addressed was outlined with the intention of combining the in-depth needs of the employees and collaborators of the Cini Foundation, with the desire to share with others the great experience potential of the ARCHiVe Center, its partners and collaborators.

In the spring of 2020, it was decided to enhance the training offer and bring the Centre’s program online, launching the AOA – ARCHiVe Online Academy courses; in this way it was possible to attend the courses organized by ARCHiVe to a greater number of users.
The lessons proved to be a very useful learning and comparison tool, both for users, made up of professionals and scholars in the cultural heritage sector, as well as for teachers and organizers.

Given the positive feedback obtained during the first AOA season (May-June 2020), it was decided to continue in this way also for the coming months.

ARCHiVe Online Academy is structured as a series of thematic courses, delivered online, live on the Zoom platform and deferred on YouTube; participation is free but the turnout is selected to guarantee individual users a high quality experience.
