Deadline for registration as an interlocutor
- The first call for entries for the practice of Mintzapraktika has begun in October. Euskaltzaleen Topagunea has explained that more than 7,000 people make up the mintzalaguna community in 21 localities and counties. The objective is for the project to extend to the entire territory of Euskal Herria.
"Mintzalaguna elkarrekin! Under the motto “Lives the Basque Country, uses” the campaign has been launched. In addition to October, registration will also be possible in January, and information can be found in the Basque associations, the Euskaltegis, the City Hall or the website mintzalaguna.topagunea.eus.
The Mintzalagun programme aims to bring together people who want to speak in Basque with those who usually do so; those who want to practice Basque (bidelariak) and those who are willing to help (bidelagunak). Small groups are made and meet an hour a week for the activity they like, as long as the Basque people accompany them.
During the lockdown, community members have maintained their relationship online. Now, Topagunea says it's time to start meeting face-to-face. “Little by little they will notice the effect of the conversation: they will start talking in Basque with eleven people who are not even imagined on the street.”
