Description

The aim of the project is to promote closer cooperation between Latvia and Norway, peer-to-peer learning among Conversation festival LAMPA and Arendalsuka, municipalities of Cesis and Arendal and to expand and deepen understanding in Latvia and Norway about current issues at European, national, municipal and festivals’ levels. In an increasingly divided and polarised world, democracy festivals such as Conversation festival LAMPA and Arendalsuka have become outstanding platforms for discussing matters of societal concern about the respective countries, Europe and the world in face-to-face
