Projects

In order to improve their knowledge of cultural diversity, identity and social cohesion in shared learning, the cultural leaders of various local communities - Latvians and especially minority representatives from all Latvia - are invited to participate in the training cycle “Latvian Capitals of Culture”. It will be held from 13 to 16 September 2018 in the municipality of Luban, Indrans parish “Ezernieki”.
Cultural workers, cultural and artistic education institutions, local government representatives, youth movement, non-governmental organisations and artistic collective managers who create public life and cultural space in their districts and cities may apply for free training.
Within four days, participants will be able to work in camp, gain new experience and knowledge, learn good practice, build new forms of cooperation, and learn practical skills in project development. Each participant of the camp will be able to promote the activities of his or her organisation, as well as to gain insight into the cultural heritage and traditions of various Latvian minorities.
Main training topics:

  • Development of intercultural dialogue skills
  • Design and implementation of projects and activities
  • Examples of good practice
  • The purpose of the Personal Development Programme is to prepare 25 minority representatives and Latvians for co-operation with the Communities of different nationalities of Latvia for the development of joint cultural projects and events.
    The beginning of the Latvian cultural ambassador movement is to be found in 2012 when first training took place. Such lessons are held annually and new cultural ambassadors join the movement every year. Common knowledge development and gathering in one place is the basis for establishing and developing different partnerships as well as an initiative for further work.
