Overview
- A concentrated early-November push has combined institutional events and public gatherings, with Bilbo’s 13th Berbagunea drawing about 1,000 participants to practice Euskara in conversation tables.
- Euskaltzaindia’s Mintzola project presented new research and a methodology to measure ‘euskaraz jarduteko erraztasuna,’ intended to guide interventions that boost everyday Basque use.
- Grassroots activism and local launches are running in parallel, with Taupa circulating public posters to nudge people to speak Basque and Hondarribia’s Guazemizia programme set up to recover and spread the town’s dialect.
- Municipal cultural programming and artist-support calls are open: Mutriku’s Antzerkiaz Blai! theatre cycle starts on Nov. 13 and the Katapulta Tour 2027 selection process is accepting applications through Nov. 30.
- Longstanding local festivities involving animals that were halted last year for dermatosi nodular controls are being reinstated, and community nature and family events (for example the Zegama nocturnal raptor walk and Plaiaundi water challenge) are scheduled with limited places and prior registration required.
