Five will be the options for learning Euskera in AEK: Euskaltegis, classroom groups, self-learning in Euskaltegi and home, model combined with classroom classes and self-learning, online courses and Barnetegi of Forua in the Urdaibai biosphere reserve.
Enrollment continued to increase in recent years; the pandemic declined somewhat, of course, but we have also seen in the last two years that citizens’ concern for learning and improving Euskera continues to exist, and thanks to the efforts of students and teachers, complying with the protection measures of each moment, we have made progress in the process of Euskaldunization.

We think it is very important that the public should be aware of these possibilities, because they are an essential element in getting closer to the Basque country, to the Euskaltegis.

We have done so! It was a very important Korrika! Although it was a year later, it was very important to recover the wave of the Basque Country, to go to the road, as well as to carry out the course of Korrika with almost total normality since November. Asier Amondo, head of the... [+]
