Description
The proposed project seeks to promote sustainable cooperation among the three major LGBT* organizations in the Baltic States, namely LGL (Lithuania), Mozaika (Latvia) and the Estonian LGBT Association (Estonia), and their partners from the Donor state Norway, namely Oslo Pride, in advancing LGBT human rights through the Baltic Pride platform. All partners have been in close collaboration since 2009, allowing representatives of partner organizations to meet on a yearly basis during the International Oslo Pride programme and exchange good practices in organizing Pride events.
