Euskararen Etxea (which literally means the House of the Basque Language) is located in the San Ignacio neighbourhood. It was founded in 2004 as a result of collaboration between the Bizkaia Provincial Council, the Bilbao City Council and the Basque Government. Today, it is run by the Azkue Foundation.
Euskararen Etxea aims to be a benchmark for all those working in and for the Basque language, as well as for Basque citizens themselves. To this end, it offers a range of different services and resources:
BASQUE INTERPRETATION CENTRE
The exhibition offers the possibility of learning more about the Basque language from top to bottom and in a fun and imaginative yet accurate and scientific manner.
During their experience-based, playful tour around the centre, visitors can explore the multifaceted nature of Euskara, the Basque language.
