Gaztemundu Ateak Ireki 2026 Comes to a Close
The Gaztemunduri Ateak Ireki Program, aimed at youth between the ages of 18 and 25 concluded on July 19th. This year’s participants from Argentina, Australia, Canada, the United States and Uruguay, spent three weeks learning about and exploring the Basque Country. All participants were housed with families in Busturialdea-Urdaibai, and Goierri. Thanks to the many program sponsors, participants are only responsible for their round-trip airfare, and insurance during their stay abroad. Twenty-one youth participated from the United States this year representing 7 states, and Washington DC, along with two from Canada. One of the many highlights of their experiences included the opportunity to meet Lehendakari Imanol Pradales, on July 15th. On behalf of everyone at NABO, Mila esker handi bat to everyone who made this program a reality. To enjoy some photos and videos of this year’s edition, visit them on Facebook.
