Abstract

The digital transformation has burst with force in all scenarios and social contexts, also in the ways of producing and consuming culture; hence the need to face new professional challenges that facilitate the dynamisation of socio-cultural management and animation in a community key.

This contribution reflects on the problems that education professionals encounter in relation to the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies in municipal contexts, as well as highlighting the lack of training (basic and continuous) that many of these professionals require at a digital level.

Within the framework of the Xerf@ Project in Galicia, a questionnaire was applied -among other instruments- to 181 professionals of public cultural action and management, from which 13 items were analysed according to different variables (age, gender, training); These results have been complemented with the information obtained through a Delphi technique with experts (15 in total), which has made it possible to identify the possibilities and limitations that digital technology imposes on the professional work of municipal technicians in Galicia to facilitate the interaction between the local administration and the citizenry.
