This year’s edition of the Basque Cultural Day, organized annually by the Basque Educational Organization, was inspired by the documentary Gazta Zati Bat, with hints of Basque, Irish and Scottish. Stemming from the documentary, the BEO has programmed an original roster of talks on such diverse themes as how to make chees, Basque dance, and self-determination; a Basque, Scottish and Irish dance exhibit; a dinner among the three communities that will surely have an unbeatable atmosphere.

Historian, Pedro J. Oiarzabal, of the University of Deusto, has published The Basque Diaspora Webscape, thanks to the Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. The work, currently only available in English, provides an exhaustive study of the virtual side of the Diaspora, in a world that is in constant evolution and growth, since the birth of the first club sites until today. “The internet is an ephemeral world, and with this study, I wanted to leave a record of the development of the digital diaspora,” says the author.
