The Euskal Etxea in Madrid was very happy with the results of its first contest of Basque short films for its Basque students. Not only was the response good, but the level of work presented was also notable. “The films were very well done, and the winner 'Euskalbollywood,' was also very funny,” Julio Elejalde, club president, explained to EuskalKultura.com. There were 10 films, plus one outside of the contest made by the children at the Euskera Txoko (that also received a prize).

During the last few months the Gure Txoko Basque club in Valladolid has been picking up speed, little by little, and the fruits of their many years of work are now coming to light. One example is the Basque classes at the club, supported by the very dedicated professor Sonia Hernandez. The latest course to be offered--that began on Friday--is BOGA online. This new offering has been added to the Basque classes for adults as well as for a group of children that are already having success at Gure Txoko.

There, in the shade of a sapling from the Tree of Gernika, this group of Euskaltzales celebrated the Day of the Basque Homeland, in the company of the new Basque delegate of Euskadi in Chile and Peru, Rafael Kutz.

Aberri Eguna, the Day of the Basque Homeland, is the most important festivity on New York’s Basque club’s calendar of events. But Aberri Eguna 2013, celebrated last Sunday, was a very special gathering for the New York club that is also celebrating its Centennial this year.
