So, I was glad to read this note at EITb:
Kilometroak 2006, the Basque schools’ day of Gipuzkoa, is been celebrated in Oiartzun in a festive atmosphere. The event is been accompanied by a wonderful weather. This year’s edition has been organised by the local school Haurtzaroa Ikastola.
The commitment to the Basque language and to the Ikastolas (Basque schools) is so rooted in the Basque society that thousands of people are awaited in the festival in order to enjoy the day and to pay tribute to the ikastolas.
The day will be packed with music and dance performances, as well as sports activities and other kind of attractions.
Organisers aim at getting enough funding to be able to guarantee a wide teaching offer. The takings from this event will go towards the restoration of the school’s facilities and the construction of a new building.
The opening of the festival took place at 09:00 am with the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Principal Arantxa Manterola welcome the attendants, including Basque government’s spokesperson Miren Azkarate.
