The Euskera Department of the Eibar City Council and the local platform AKEBAI, in collaboration with the Eibar Merchants Association, are distributing 100 euro shopping vouchers to young people who obtain their driving license in Basque. The aim is to promote the use of Basque among youth in everyday settings and, at the same time, support local businesses.
An increasing number of young people are choosing to prepare for their driving license theory test in Basque, utilizing the resources offered by the Gidabaimena Euskaraz program. On this occasion, Koldo Edorta Carranza was the resident who received the voucher after successfully completing the theory exam in Basque.
The Gidabaimena Euskaraz program is supported by the Basque Government and is coordinated, managed, and directed by the Federation of Driving Schools of Euskadi. Its objective is to create the necessary materials for obtaining a driving license in Basque, foster the habit of preparing for it in this language, and encourage young people to take advantage of this option. To achieve this, innovative audiovisual materials have been developed and adapted for the digital realm to facilitate the learning process.
The Euskera area of the Eibar City Council encourages citizens to seize this opportunity to use Basque beyond the educational sphere and extend it to all areas of daily life, thereby broadening opportunities to live in Basque.
