4. Analog vs. Digital
In times of Covid-19 pandemic for most of the project partners it was not possible to organise personal meetings. Still, there are cool web apps that help implement digital meetings and integrate interactive elements. In the following we pin down the advantages of analog and digital meetings as well as tips for holding virtual meetings.
Padova Chamber of Commerce, 2021:
“For effective work, it's important that the admin staff feels not alone, that they can get in touch with people able to help them answer the issues from CCI/companies/citizens. And build up a partners' team. Our training schedule has been conceived to fulfill this goal. Of course, with offline training it's much easier to create positive relations among people.”
What are the advantages of a physical meeting?
- A good combination between theory and practice/testimonials
- It's easier for the participants to get in touch/ interaction!
- Being inspired by the location of the training
- More passionate speakers
- A real study tour - you can touch or try something
- Touches more senses, creating a vivid memory of the event
- More informal exchange of opinions
- Empathy and motivation among group are easier created
Extra tips when you plan an analog training:

- Plan extra time to travel to the locations
- Plan travelling costs
What are the advantages of a digital meeting?
- Implementation always possible under COVID-19 restrictions
- Higher reach of participants
- People might be more easily convinced if they do not have to move to the training location

- Saves time
- Cheaper - no lunch, coffee breaks, travelling, room lease
- People from far away can take place
