From these applications, 67 proposals for the digital culture channel were selected:
32 music productions
14 theatrical productions
6 children's productions
7 visual artists and exhibitions,
5 Literary Analogies
3 Guided Tours - Documentary

Focusing on modern digital technologies, the cultural communication strategy developed by the Municipality of Heraklion, aimed to bring culture to the forefront, to reconnect it with society and the economy, as an essential means of improving human life and competitiveness. . Globally, there is a rapid increase in the traffic of internet users to cultural products. The use of digital technologies and networks can significantly increase the public value of cultural heritage as they reshape the relationship between culture and man and society. In this way, "Digital culture not only nullifies the notion of mass but also establishes equal and reciprocal digital communication relationships."
In a society that is constantly facing challenges at the social, political and economic levels, cultural units must continue to produce social work and strive to communicate it to a growing global audience.
At the same time, we elaborated with due seriousness, responsibility and consistency copyright terms and at the same time we were trained in the use of production of audiovisual tools and terms such as digital graphic design, montage, mastering, export.
We have created remarkable productions, in different fields, we have supported remarkable efforts and we are happy to see the creativity of the contributors when they come out of the established forms. It was a challenge that we accepted, an experiment that succeeded, a bet that was won and a goal that was achieved with complete success. At the same time it is for us an ongoing school, a long-term experience, a new different beginning for all of us who work for the best possible result in the field of culture.
