The challenge of Euskaldunon Kontseilua: 300,000 more Basques by 2036
The Council of the Basque Countryhas today presented a proposal aimed at removing the Basque language from the linguistic emergency and bringing it to a new validity, and has set on the tablea specific objective: the creation of 3 000 Euskaldunes in full over a period of ten years. The challenge is to double the rate of Euskaldunization so far, setting targets for each territory and administrative area, taking into account the sociolinguistic reality of each place.
At a hearing at the Martin Ugalde Cultural Park in Andoain, Idurre Eskisabel and Manex Mantxola , Secretary General and Coordinator of the Council of Basques, have reported on the report 'The Renaissance Challenge 2036. The Leap from Emergency to Validity', a plan based on the experiences of Wales, Catalonia and Galicia, which aims to involve the whole of society.
The report has been completed by Manchola, who has explained that, at present, around 15,000 Basques are earned annually from the whole of Euskal Herria, but this is not enough to leave the slowdown behind and start a new cycle of regeneration. The challenge proposed by the Council is to double that number, to 30,000. Thus, the number of 13,000 Basques currently generated in the Basque Autonomous Community should be increased to 25,000.
They have also set themselves thechallenge associated with use: over the next ten years, overcoming the 20% barrier to recognized use. "Inevitably, the challenge is to influence knowledge and use at the same time: to increase knowledge in order to multiply and strengthen the possibilities of use, and to increase use as a guarantee not only of the habitability of language but also of knowledge," they said.
Eskisabel has stressed that the challenge is "ambitious", but is convinced that it is "feasible" . The trajectory set out in the report proposes to act in five strategic areas: formal education, adult Euskaldunization and literacy, resources for language policies, the legal architecture of the Basque Country and the Basque Country ecosystem.
The proposal is based on a broad social consensus signed by more than 140 social partners.
Experts from Wales, Catalonia and Galicia attended the presentation.
