Herri Urrats, the annual fundraising event in aid of ikastolak,
Basque-language medium schools, in Iparralde took place in Senpere
(Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle) on May 8. Iparralde is the northern Basque Country under French administration.
The event, which has been held every year since 1984, takes the form of a festival held around the Senpere lake,. People typically stroll around the lake, generally hang out, have picnics or grab something to eat at a food stall, and attend one of the many shows on offer (music, dance, theater, etc.). Weather permitting, you can even take a dip in the lake (not really an option this year!), but all in all, a fun day out and all for a good cause.
This year’s event specifically sought to raise funds for renovating the site of the Bernat Etxepare high school in Baiona as well as toward developing a whole new section of the school that will offer, for the first time in Iparralde, vocational education or professional training in Basque.
