Abstract

The announcement presents the conception of the didactic project Multilingualism of the Baltic region, which has been carried out since the second half of 2022 in the Institute of Specialised and Intercultural Communication at the University of Warsaw thanks to funding granted by the university’s Teaching Excellence Fund. Special attention is given to the first part of the project focused on the language situation in Lithuania. This part of the project has been already completed.
