The event organised by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, FRA, also creates opportunities for networking and further cooperation between actors engaged in the promotion of fundamental rights.

Support to civil society is one of the key priorities of the EEA and Norway Grants. The workshop will give participants a general overview of the areas of support of the Grants, including the recently-launched campaign against online hate speech by the Council of Europe, in which the Grants are a strategic partner.

Moreover, the Human Rights Monitoring Institute, one of the Grants Operators, will present specific activities supported in the EEA Programme in Lithuania.
