Donostia-San Sebastián. After considering several solutions and alternatives to carry out the expedition, the organizers have expressed that “placing health care at the center,” the present situation does not allow for the activity to be carried out and so this expedition for youth that covers all of Euskal Herria on foot, will postpone its 3rd edition until summer 2021. “The biggest force of the expedition is the relationship and closeness among the participants. Emotional closeness as well as physical are often inseparable,” they conclude.
They were getting ready for the participation of 120 youth between the ages of 16 and 17. A total of 321 applications had been received of these 33% from Bizkaia, 23.7% from Gipuzkoa, 23.1% from Navarre, 15.3% from Araba, 2.8% from Xiberoa, 1/6% from Lapurdi, and 2 youth from the Diaspora. Each participant sent an original project and a letter explaining their motivation and the organizers were in the middle of the selection process.
Organizers included in their note that they wanted to recognize the efforts of the candidates, and so they will keep the applications from this year of those born in 2004 for next year’s program. Normally, applications for 2021 will be available to youth born in 2004 and 2005. And so before making a decision in regards to applications received this year from youth born in 2003, they would like to determine how this change will influence the expedition. They also announced that they will be in touch with all of this year’s applicants.
