Nordplus Nordic Languages

The programme supports the establishment of networks with actors within the field of language – or different project cooperation’s within the field of language.
The aim of Nordplus Nordic Languages is on one hand to support activities that strengthen language comprehension of the Nordic languages, primarily Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, among children and young people – and on the other hand to develop materials, methods and strategies for improving comprehension of the Nordic languages on all levels within the educational systems.

It is also possible to apply for a study visit.

Teaming up for a Nordplus Adult project cooperation is an exciting opportunity to improve learning on a national level, by developing transnational mobility for teachers and/or adult learners across the Nordic and Baltic countries. Nordplus Adult also provides the opportunity to develop common teaching materials, methods and concepts, as well as mapping projects aimed at studies, analysis and data collection on specific issues and trends in the adult education sector in the Nordic / Baltic countries.
