2011 sets new record for cultural support in Estonia

2011 was an amazingly successful year for the people of Estonia, with the total amount of support granted via Nordic Culture Point programmes amounting to a record €242,796. Compared to previous years, the number of recipients of travel support doubled: 161 such grants were awarded during the year, 31 of them to professionals in the field of culture.

Visited most frequently, as might be expected, was Finland, although Denmark and Sweden also proved popular destinations. The same trend could be seen in reverse among Nordic applicants, with many Finns, Danes, Swedes and Norwegians keen to visit Estonia.
