The Nordic Folk Academy has since 1992 been active in Nordic - Baltic co-operation. An overview of the work is given in the farewell interview with Arne Carlsen, former director of NFA.
Democracy is the road and the goal
Today the co-operation means close contacts between the Nordic and Baltic formal and non-formal adult education organisations. Regular yearly meetings are organised between the central Nordic and Baltic umbrella organisations for adult education as well as their member organisations. Through the meetings an NGO network has been established.
The main partners in the Baltic states are the national associations for adult education.
In Estonia - Estonian Popular Education League.
In Latvia - Latvian Adult Education Association
In Lithuania - Lithuanian Association of Adult Education.
As a part of disseminating information and exchanging experience the Nordic - Baltic co-operation project data-base has been created.
The database provides information on:
- actual co-operation projects
- completed co-operation projects
- the partner organisation description and / or links to the organisation home-pages
- information on the contact persons for the projects and a possibility to contact them directly
- organisations interested in new partnerships
The database even allows to register your organisation without being involved in an actual project, but having an interest in Nordic - Baltic co-operation.
The database is free to search for everyone.
