Kindred Peoples’ Programme

The main objective of the Kindred Peoples’ Programme (in Estonian: Hõimurahvaste programm) is to support the preservation and development of the languages and cultures of kindred Uralic (i.e., Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic) indigenous peoples.

Uralic Ethnic Studies Award 🔭

Since 2012, academic works by representatives of kindred Uralic peoples without their own statehood are recognised in two categories. Laureates will be announced on the Kindred Peoples’ Day.

Fenno-Ugria condemns the aggression by the Russian Federation in Ukraine

STATEMENT

Capitals of Culture

The programme of Finno-Ugric Capitals of Culture aims to raise awareness of Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic peoples as well as Uralic languages, to strengthen collective Finno-Ugric identity and to stimulate sustainable local development in different corners of the Finno-Ugric world.
