Dear colleagues in Latvia and in the world, members of the Latvian Societies and supporters!
12.01.2015
The
important aim of the Riga Latvian Society work is to gather information
about Latvians in whole world, cooperate with them, to find out and
promote their achievements in economy, science and culture and take care
about their preserving and maintenance in Latvia, promoting Latvian
unity all around the world.
The
Riga Latvian Society organised 6 World Latvian Societies’ conferences,
where participated delegates from Latvia and foreign Latvian Societies
(1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008). Since 2008 the cooperation with
Latvian organisations continues by implementing particular cooperation
projects, receiving guests from world Latvian organisations in our home
and visiting other countries, sharing experience and strengthening
Latvian identity.
To
promote the mutual cooperation of the Latvian Societies and exchange
the information, make the information about the work of Latvian
Societies in the world and newest events in the Societies available for
wide range of people, as well as popularise Latvian organisations’ work,
the Riga Latvian Society in the framework of the European Economic
Area’s Financial Mechanism financed project “Stand Hard, Work Bravely”
(N0.2012.EEZ/DAP/MAC/068/1/NAC/054/2014”) has developed section in the
Riga Latvian Society Home page – data base about Latvian Societies and
schools that work all around the world.
In
the data base we have summarized the information about Latvian
Societies and organisations that work with similar aims as the Riga
Latvian Society, as well as about Latvian schools and Sunday schools
that work under the wing of the Societies and organisations and make
opportunities for more closer cooperation, sharing of experience about
organisations’ work and working specifics in different countries. In the
section we have gathered information about Latvian organisations’
history and current work, photos, contacts and links to the
organisations’ Home pages and Web sites in social networks.
During
the year of 2015 the information about the organisations will be added.
In the same way each month we will offer news and events from the world
Latvian Societies and schools – those that seem interesting and
emphasized for the Riga Latvian Society and that teach and inspire.
We
invite our colleagues to share experience, inform about their work and
news, because the work that each Latvian organisation and school does,
is unselfish and priceless, it should be talked about and we should be
proud about it – each separately and all Latvian organisations together!
Topicalities and suggestions, please, send to the e-mail: info@rlb.lv
Let’s stand hard and work bravely!
