Feedback from previous projects

Daiva Stasaitienė from Klaipėda public library in Lithuania has described the experiences from her project in collaboration with partners from Iceland and Finland:

„The project aligned with and strengthened the values of the Nordic Council of Ministers programme – promoting education, inclusion, equality, sustainability and cross-border cooperation.

By participating in activities that encouraged the inclusion of socially vulnerable or less active groups, our staff learned to better recognize the needs of the community and apply more flexible methods that help create an open, sustainable, accessible cultural and educational space for all.

Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Public Administration exceeded our expectations. The program provided an excellent opportunity to engage with colleagues from Nordic countries, facilitating cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange on topics relevant to public administration, sustainability, and community development.“
