“Creative use of archives”: Rai international training course in collaboration with CIRCOM and COPEAM

Rome, 28-29 November 2024

The international workshop “Creative use of archives” was organised by RAI in Rome and was open to European and Balkans’ broadcasting members of COPEAM. Delegates from the TVs of Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia attended this 2-day training and networking meeting together with other colleagues from CIRCOM.

The experts from RAI Archives and Rai Documentary departments discussed about opening up and research into the archives to create new programmes, what team and collaboration work is needed, what strategies can be implemented, the role of AI. Many examples have been shown by each TV delegate to give the taste of the wide range of use that can be made, from traditional programmes focusing on history to the most creative and experimental formats based on archive footage.
