Uztaritze, Lapurdi.   Basque emigration will be the focus of a meeting that will take place on October 16 in Uztaritze, entitled “Euskal emigrazioa: oroitzapena baino gehiago?"  The event will begin at 7pm at the Lapurdi Hall, and will be recorded and retransmitted online by local television channel Kanaldude.  The event was organized by: Eusko Ikaskuntza, Euskal Kultura Erakundea and Eusko Diaspora.

The roundtable will include Argitxu Camus Etchecopar (researcher), Laura Igantzi (Euskal Artzainak Ameriketan), Monika Legarto (Euskal Argentina), Mari Pourquie (Euskal Etxea Quebec), Joseba Etxarri (EuskalKultura.com) and Robert Acheritogaray (8 Probintziak).

Guests will reflect on issues like the memory of Basque emigration: What does this memory include today? How do we see Basque emigrants?  How do they see their motherland? Are reality and myth mixed? Do we need to keep the memory of emigration alive? How and for whom?

After the debate, those present will enjoy an aperitif, provided by Eusko Ikaskuntza, Euskal Kultur Erakundea and businesses Oteiza, Adam, Agour, Bipia and Hiruzta.  US Bertsolaris Johnny Curutchet and Martin Goicochea will also sing for those present.
