The Provincial Council of Bizkaia has allocated over 73 million euros to reinforce the use of the Basque language, known as euskera, alongside cultural and sports initiatives. This funding is part of a broader strategy to foster social cohesion within the community.
The investment will support various projects and programmes designed to promote euskera, which is one of the official languages of the Basque Country, alongside Spanish. The council aims to enhance the visibility and use of the language in everyday life, education, and cultural events.
In addition to language promotion, the funding will also be directed towards cultural activities that celebrate the rich heritage of the Basque Country and sports initiatives that encourage community participation and physical activity.
This initiative reflects the council's commitment to creating an inclusive society where cultural diversity is celebrated and where all citizens can participate actively in community life.
The announcement comes as part of ongoing efforts by the Provincial Council to address social challenges and promote unity among the diverse population of Bizkaia.
