- Euskaldunes or quasi-Euskaldunes families with children between 2 and 6 years old will be able to create a group that works in Euskera in their free time and participate in the workshops and games in Euskera that the Dindaia Foundation will organize during the months of May and June for a week. It is a project for families to participate, so for every child, a father or a mother will have to participate. The registration period is open until 9 May.
For the management of age diversity, two subgroups shall be divided in each group: 2-3 years and 4-6 years. This initiative, organized by the Dindaia Foundation, aims to change language habits: "Although our children study in the linguistic immersion model in Basque, outside school they speak in Spanish. With friends, in the offer of free time -- there's really little chance that it will work in Basque. The objective is to translate into Basque the linguistic habits of the relationships between parents and mothers, fathers and mothers and children and to create a group that works in Basque outside the school, linked to the village or the neighborhood”.
The families of Txantrea, Arrotxapea, Iturbranch–Donibane, Arrosadia, Sarriguren and Ansoain will have the opportunity to enjoy free time in Basque. During the last two weeks of May and the first week of June, Dindaia will organise three sessions, one each week.
Registration and plans for the future
Registration is open until May 9, here.
The media Ahotsa has collected the following words from the organizers: “It is our intention to organise a weekly session starting in September so that we can influence the objective and achieve stability. In September we want to include it among the extracurricular proposals of the Model D centres. In addition, we would like to appeal to those interested in the neighbourhoods and villages that have not formed a group to contact us.”
