Not that new, but still better. Online engagement during the first confinement of the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain

2021. Inglés

Resumen
During the first week of the confinement in mid-March 2020, I started receiving a lot of cultural offers online. Free access to repositories of films, theatre, books, as well as some virtual tours and resources for archaeological museums and sites. I decided it was a perfect moment to evaluate the reach and reception of such offer and conducted a small survey for the Spanish audience.

This poster will show some of the main results of the survey, as well as the reflections they encouraged. It will focus on three aspects:

- Reach: Did the offer reach new audiences?

- Experience: Did people enjoy the offer?

- Potential: Was the offer any different?

Although the general results are good, a closer look to the data offers a more critical perspective of the reality those first weeks (and further on), that should help to consider better forms of digital engagement for the post-pandemic era.
