Thousands of people are expected this Sunday in Amurrio to enjoy the partyof the Ikastolas of Álava under the motto "Taupadak berpiztu!"
In the last four years, eight Alavese ikastolas have jointly organized the Araba Euskaraz festival in the Olarizu Park in Vitoria-Gasteiz. For the 2026 edition, they decided to celebrate it in Amurrio , and the greatest weight of the organization of the festival has been borne by the ikastola Aresketa, although the other seven ikastolas of Araba have also collaborated.
The president of Araba Euskaraz Kultur Elkartea, Unai Mendizabal, stressed in the presentation that "our desire is to strengthen the heartbeat of the Euskera and that the Euskera reaches all citizens, not only in ikastola, but in the street, in the square and in everyday life." "Araba Euskaraz is not just a feast of a territory, but one of the main windows of the active role of the ikastolas in the transmission."
"Since the creation of ikastolas there has been a great leap in Euskaldunization, but in the face of the recession of use and the onslaught against the Euskera, it is time to give a joint response," he said, and therefore called for "joining forces from public institutions and from the world of citizenship," stressing that "Araba Euskarazis not only a joyful meeting point, but also a vindictive space to demand linguistic rights. "
