About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Vigdís International Centre for Multilingualism and Intercultural Understanding is a UNESCO category 2 Centre based at the University of Iceland. The main objectives of the Centre are to promote multilingualism; raise awareness of the importance of language as a core element of the cultural heritage of mankind; promote translation and translation studies; work on the preservation of languages; and promote research and education in languages and cultures. Currently, indigenous languages and languages with small numbers of native speakers are a priority of the Centre. Within this framework, the focus of the Centre is on languages of the West Nordic Region and of the Romani people. The Centre is a multicultural environment that hosts research projects and organises events for specialists and the public. The tasks involve helping organise and host events such as: lectures of international guests, thematic film screenings, supporting researchers with research on indigenous languages.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
