Overview
- Regional organisers Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundia and Kutxa Fundazioa opened the Katapulta Tour 2027 selection this week with a November 30 deadline and awards that include four performances, a €500 fee per show and training for selected artists.
- Kulturaz in Azpeitia launched the Arkupehotsak registration for its ninth edition with a December 13 deadline and offers chosen musicians residencies, rehearsal space at Dinamoa and an April showcase.
- Several place‑based programmes and events were scheduled or confirmed, including Mutriku's Antzerkiaz Blai! theatre cycle starting November 13, a Zegama guided night walk for raptor calls on November 7, and Aranzadi's Etnografia Jardunaldiak on November 10–13 with two talks livestreamed.
- Language activation advanced on multiple fronts as Azkuna Zentroa hosted Bilbao's 13th Berbagunea with about 1,000 participants, Taupa ran a public advertising campaign ahead of Euskara Day (December 3), and Hondarribia launched the participatory Guazemizia dialect‑revival project with meetings planned in December and January.
- Taken together, the new calls, public programmes and grassroots actions aim to strengthen careers, broaden access through live and online formats, and increase everyday use of Euskara in towns by pairing funding, training and local, participatory outreach.
