Tandil, Argentina.   Entitled, “In the Footsteps of Euskera.  The Basque language and its present in Argentina,” the exhibit created by the Delegation of Euskadi in Argentina and Mercosur, with the collaboration of HABE and FEVA, summarizes the history and the current situation of the language of the Basques, and above all its present in Argentina since the Argentinan Euskaraz program.

Comprised of 19 panels, the exhibit was created in a format appropriate for touring cities and Basque clubs and fulfilling the major goal of its diffusion.  Its first stop was Tandil where it will be displayed through today.

The exhibit’s inauguration took place at the Gure Etxea in Tandil on September 19.  The ceremony included a welcome from club president, Marily Harguindeguy, and a talk by Isidro Legarreta and Valeria Aramburu.  Mr. Legarreta was the first Basque club teacher and Valeria Aramburu was trained and later served as a teacher as part of this successful program.

The goal of the exhibit is also to surpass the limits of the Basque clubs and the Tandil club did so since during the week that it has been open, the exhibit was visited by students in their first year at the College De la Sierra.  Accompanied by Valeria Aramburu, who is also a teacher, the youth could delve into he contents on each panel.
