Dear Madam/Sir,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the Baltic Media Grant Programme's final conference to be hosted
on 10th November, 2021 in Vilnius by the Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Lithuania.
The Baltic Media Grant Programme was introduced in 2017 with aim to increase quality and
attractiveness of local, regional and national media and media products in minority languages in the
Baltic countries, with a special focus on inclusive content that addresses the needs and demands of
communities in ethnically diverse or distinct regions.
During three rounds of funding through 2017-2021, a total of 80 projects were granted in all three
Baltic countries.
The final conference aims to sum up the outputs of the programme, to provide the grantees and
minority language media with the opportunity to network and to discuss the need and means for
combating polarization and ensuring diversity of the minority language media in Baltic region and
beyond.
