In July 20221 the third edition of EuskarAbentura was held, an initiative that set itself the objective of offering young Basque people aged 16-17 years - from all of Euskal Herria as well as from the Diaspora - the opportunity to live together during a whole month while they were backpacking towns and places in the country, getting to know them, learning in situ about their history and traditions with local experts, sharing values such as environmentalism or equity, all with the Basque language as an instrument for personal growth and enrichment. This video, recorded by the English Basque Dylan Inglis, corresponds to the 24 hours in which he visited the group to share the experience with them. Eskerrik asko, Dylan!
