On the occasion of International Book Day, April 23, some Basque clubs have organized special activities to promote reading and especially Basque literature. One club with a lot of experience in this area is that in Barcelona, which has organized the literary festival Literaldia for years. There is also a contest that is part of the festival that encourages the creation of micro and macro stories via Twitter, in Basque and Catalan. In Australia they have another idea that is simple and effective: the Gure Txoko Basque club in Sydney has organized a poem reading in Basque as well as a book exchange among club members.

The public school Bernart Etxepare, in Pamplona, has begun the campaign “Nik ere putz eginine dut!” (I will blow too), in hopes of spreading a message in favor of Euskera. Students and professors, as well as well-known people in Euskal Herria have already joined in the initiative that now seeks support from the Diaspora. It is really easy; all you have to do is record a video saying “Nik ere putz eginen dut! And then blow (putz egin means to blow). We at EuskalKultura.com encourage you to participate, so that kids in Euskal Herria can see that Euskera is far reaching.
