On September 24, 2024, a seminar organized by the Culture Information Systems Centre was held in the house of Raina and Aspazijas (Baznīcas iela 30, Riga) as part of the EU co-financed project "Library Bridges: Promoting the Integration and Inclusion of Third-Country Nationals in Europe Using Libraries and Local Partnerships" (LIBRI) .
The event was attended by representatives of nine public libraries of Latvian municipalities and the Society Integration Fund, as well as the working group of the Culture Information Systems Centre project. The seminar discussed the organizational issues of the LIBRI project, examined the conditions for local partnerships and strategies to be developed in the project, and listened to the experiences of libraries in the integration activities already carried out.
The seminar had the opportunity to get acquainted with the SIF presentation on the integration of third-country nationals. At the seminar, all participants gained inspiration and confidence to achieve the project's goal by May 2026 - to develop and implement integration strategies and their implementation plans, which provide for the successful inclusion of third-country nationals in society at the regional level and in the local community using library services.
