The workshop was aimed especially to anyone who is responsible for children in the Basque clubs and was evaluated by participants as being “very successful.” Basque club representatives didn’t only have the possibility to learn contents and methodology, but they also were able to share experiences with their peers in other clubs. Following its annual program, FEVA also invites everyone to the “Haztearren, gogoeta" (Reflecting to Grow) conference on August 6-7 in Rosario.

This is also something that Iker Goñi has learned from the inside after spending since last May working as an Operations Intern for the New York Red Bulls. Iratxe Lopez Bringas did the following interview for El Correo.

Yesterday’s rain forced some changes and an earlier closer of events, but besides that everyone’s delight was obvious. Here are some more videos.
