Examples of projects granted funding

The partners will develop shared tools and strategies to support marginalised art forms through joint educational programmes aimed at sustaining queer practice, community, public spaces, and a lasting legacy.
  • Short-term network funding: The network Libraries as Third Places, Practices in the Nordic–Baltic Region seeks to promote dialogue, mutual learning, reflection, and joint consideration of inclusive and community-oriented library practices and strategies. The Nordic–Baltic Region is used as a platform for exchanging experience, sharing practical knowledge, and discussing possibilities for applying the concept locally.
  • Long-term network funding: The Nordic–Baltic School of Advocacy Network strengthens advocacy capacity within the Nordic and Baltic cultural sector by connecting cultural organisations, practitioners, and artists across borders. The network adapts European cultural advocacy work to local conditions, develops skills for democratic engagement, and supports socially resilient cultural ecosystems through structured learning, peer exchange, and joint advocacy initiatives.
