A delegation of the Lappi minority living in northern Norway will arrive in Israel next month for a first-of-its-kind visit in a bid to learn from the Israeli experience of reviving the Hebrew language and passing it on to the younger generation. Awareness to the Lappi people's rights has been growing in Norway in recent years, including the preservation of the Lappi (also known as Sami) language. Members of the Lappi minority approached the Israeli Embassy in Norway recently and asked for Israel's help. They have the financial support of a Norwegian governmental program for the preservation and revival of the language. A delegation is expected to arrive in Israel in early February, wearing the Lappi traditional clothes.
