Eusguneak

Description

The EUSGUNEAK project aims to establish a cooperation network to promote the use of Basque, reducing linguistic barriers between the communities of Euskadi, Navarra, and the Atlantic Pyrenees. With a cross-border approach, EUSGUNEAK promotes the modernization of Basque learning infrastructures, strengthening collaboration between public entities responsible for Basque education and increasing accessibility to the language. The project also aims to establish a joint and sustainable planning framework to promote the long-term use of Basque in the Western Functional Area territories.
