content: Lorea Ibarra; Rikar Lamadrid (participants) The transmission and use of Euskara has been banned or undervalued for many years, putting it on the threshold of extinction. But after forty years of strong commitment and hard work by individuals and political associations, around 943,000 people use Basque worldwide. The inclusion of Basque language in the education system has led to the rejuvenation and growth of the number of speakers, and it has strengthened assurance of continuity of the language. Come join a discussion on Euskara into education how that has changed its trajectory.
