Nordplus Nordic Languages
The Nordplus Nordic Languages Programme supports activities aimed at strengthening the Nordic neighbouring languages and promoting knowledge about Nordic languages and official minority languages.
About the programme
Nordplus Nordic Languages has four guiding objectives:
- promote Nordic languages and culture and mutual Nordic-Baltic linguistic and cultural understanding,
- improve inter-Nordic language comprehension (primarily between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian), especially among children and young people,
- stimulate interest in and knowledge and understanding of the languages of the Nordic countries essential to society (Danish, Finnish, Faroese, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Norwegian, Sami and Swedish) and Nordic sign language, and
- revitalise national minority languages in the Nordic Region for cultural and inclusive purposes.
Who can apply?
The programme is open for all institutions, organisations and other actors. Both private and public, who are interested in working with or promoting the Nordic languages. Such as universities and research institutions, NGOs, associations, private companies and others working with Nordic languages or official Nordic minority languages. The programme is open to both the Nordic and Baltic countries and an application must represent at least two different participating countries/areas, i.e. one coordinating institution/organisation and at least one partner.
The application must be in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English.
Cooperation to promote the use of Nordic languages among children and youth is a priority in the programme.
