The SOAS Center at the University of London is putting an end to the Endangered Languages Week 2015 with a day entirely dedicated to Euskera.  The program of the day includes various proposals, like the screening of the documentary Euskara Jendea, talks on bertsolaritza and current initiatives to promote Euskera, as well as a Basque dance workshop.  All of these are open to the public.
