According to the Sameting, Lávgu AS received 125,000 kroner to produce a 10-12 episode Coastal Sámi podcast. Lávgu AS and the Kvænangen Language Center are also working on a project called 'Coastal Sámi Week' to promote Coastal Sámi language, culture and history in the Kvænangen and Alta region. Maren Benedicte Nystad Storslett, a Sami Parliament Council member, said that Sámi language, culture and history in coastal areas have been strongly Norwegianized and much has been lost, and that both the podcast and the week will help make visible and elevate Coastal Sámi culture and language. The other three projects receiving funding have not been specified.
