Ateak Ireki Registration Opens on February 1st

We are very excited to announce that Ateak Ireki, the program aimed at youth between the ages of 16-25 is coming back this year! The program, initially planned for the summer of 2020, had to be canceled until now, like many other activities due to the pandemic. This three-week program, June 25-July 16, 2023, not only allows participants to learn more about their Basque culture, but also allows them to attend weekly Euskera immersion classes at Maizpide Barnetegi. Participants will stay with host families in Goierri, Gipuzkoa and the program includes visits and events to Bizkaia, Araba, Nafarroa and Iparralde. Thanks to the generosity of program sponsors, there is no fee to participate in Ateak Ireki 2023. Selected participants are only required to cover their roundtrip travel to the Basque Country, as well as health insurance. There are only 50 spots available for this year’s program and registration opens on February 1st and runs through February 28th. To register, please visit their website. NABO Ateak Ireki Coordinator, Argia Beristain, is happy to answer any questions you may have.  Please email her at argiaberistain@gmail.com. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity!
