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.

Iruña-Pamplona, Nafarroa.  The public school Bernart Etxepare is in charge of this year’s festival in favor of Basque public schools as part of the Sortzen Ikasbatuaz Association.  The festival will take place on May 18 and 19 in Iruña, and to get folks warmed up, a campaign of support called, “Nik ere putz eginen dut!” has begun. 

The gesture of blowing is a way of signifying the support that many euskaltzales have shown sending their “blows.” The school now wants to show students that Euskera can surpass borders and that it is spoken in many countries, so they have also asked Basques in the Diaspora to join the campaign.

Videos and photos

It is very easy to participate, all you have to do is make a video saying, “Nik ere putz eginen dut!” and then blow.  If you would rather, you could send a photo of you blowing instead.  “It would be good if there were something in the video showing where you are, the country, or city, to give a more global dimension to the campaign,” according to organizers.

Videos and photos can be sent via email to: gurejaia2013@gmail.com. More information on the campaign and the festival is available on their website: www.gurejaia.info.

Here are some examples:
