- Under the slogan “What if we do it in Basque?”, the campaign of inscriptions of Mintzapraktika has already begun in different towns and cities of Basque Country. Therefore, throughout the course, the participants will have the opportunity to practice Euskera around the different hobbies.
The project mobilizes more than 8,000 people both in-person and online. The organizers explained this in the presentation of the project: “A person who does well in Euskera meets with a group of people who want to improve their language level and speak about various issues in the time they share. The frequency is usually weekly.”
This project, which has been 30 years old, has underlined that it must still be an opportunity today to remain attractive, to transform, adapt and evolve. “In times of pandemic, Mintzapraktika jumped into the net, which broke the borders and opened the possibility of practicing Euskera to Euskaltzales scattered around the world. Little by little, the project has been meeting other needs and conquering new areas, with the intention of reaching an increasingly diverse audience,” they added.
The organizers of Mintzapraktika wanted to highlight the contribution that the project makes to the use of the Euskara in the Basque Country. In fact, they say that many people help them to assimilate the dictionary, gain security and scare fears; little by little encouraging them to use the Basque language in their daily lives.
Anyone interested in joining mintzapraktika projects may contact the local association or Euskaltegi to find out about existing groups or to propose new groups. Otherwise, on the page www.mintzalaguna.eus there is also the possibility to register.
