Ikastola Bastida organizes Araba Euskaraz this year, and will use the money raised to improve and extend its classrooms of psychomotricity and computer science. This year’s slogan is "Ametsak dirau".
The Basque town of Labastida (in the Rioja Alavesa) is holding the 15th edition of Araba Euskaraz festival. This festival takes place annually in different Basque schools in the province of Alava (Basque: Araba). This time it has been organized by Bastida Education Center. This town in Alava organized this event four years ago and it is doing it again this year, with the help of Ikastola Bastida (Ikastola: Basque school), which will use the money raised to improve and extend its classrooms of psychomotricity and computer science.
"Ametsak dirau" ("The dream remains") is the slogan used for this fifteenth edition festival of Basque schools in Alava.
People coming around have the chance to go along a circuit fitted out for this event in the side of Toloño Mountain, a lovely landscape according to the organizers.
Along five kilometers people can enjoy Basque music groups such as Etsaiak, Governors, Txapelpunk or Sarkor, and children can also enjoy Koko and Moko clowns show or several children games. There is an special area for children, with Betizu cows (children’s program pets in ETB1 Basque TV channel) as protagonists.
People can taste products with eusko label (Basque quality label) and wine from Alava and there will be a popular dance at 17:30 with the Basque music group Tapia eta Leturia.
To finish with, provincial council of Alava has financed 40,000 reusable glasses with 8,000 euros, to preserve natural environment of Labastida.
