Lapin yliopiston kasvatustieteiden tiedekunnan koordinoima projekti HEI-SAMI - Saamen kieli korkea-asteen koulutuksessa esikaupunkialueilla on juuri valittu Nordplus Kielet -ohjelman hyväksi esimerkiksi. Hakukierroksen teemana oli sosiaalinen kestävyys, jota projekti rahoittajan mukaan hienosti edusti. HEI-SAMI -hankkeessa on rakennettu uhanalaisen saamen kielen opetuksen parissa työskentelevien yliopistojen pohjoismainen verkosto sekä tuotettu opetusmateriaalia ja VR-peli. Lisäksi projektista on tulossa akateemisia julkaisuja. Projekti saa erinomaista näkyvyyttä, sillä Nordplus on julkaissut verkkosivuillaan artikkelin HEI-SAMI -projektista ja projektin vetäjä professori Pigga Keskitalo on kutsuttu paneelikeskusteluun Nordplus seminaariin Tukholmaan toukokuussa.

The project HEI-SAMI - Sámi language in higher education in suburban areas , coordinated by the University of Lapland's Faculty of Education, has just been selected as a best practice example of a Nordplus Languages project. The theme of the call for applications was social sustainability, which, according to the funding body, the project represented in an excellent way. The HEI-SAMI project has built a Nordic network of universities working on teaching the endangered Sámi language, produced teaching materials and a VR game. The project will also result in academic publications. The project is receiving excellent visibility, as Nordplus has published an article on the HEI-SAMI project on its website and the project leader, Professor Pigga Keskitalo, has been invited to a panel discussion at a Nordplus seminar in Stockholm in May.
