Southern Basque Country
Herri Urrats (Basque for 'a people's step') is an annual festival held the second Sunday of May to reach out to the "ikastolak" ('Basque language schools') in the Northern Basque Country, France. In the Southern Basque Country (Spain), Basque is taught in all public schools, but in the French Basque Country, students wishing to be taught in Basque must attend an "ikastola school".
