Learning Basque

Helduen Alfabetatze eta Berreuskalduntzerako Erakundea – HABE

The fundamental objective of HABE (Basque Literacy and Basque Language Learning Institute for Adults) is to encourage literacy and the use of the Basque language among adults.

 

Euskaltegi

An euskaltegi is an adult centre where the Basque language is taught. In terms of their legal status, there are both public and private euskaltegis in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. The public euskaltegis (Udal euskaltegiak) are run by the municipalities. Many of the private euskaltegis have come together to form federations (AEK, Elkarlan, Batuz, IKA),although there are some that are not in federations, such as Bai&by and Mondragon Lingua. To these one must add the Approved Self-Learning Centres (ALTZA, DEUSTUko Unibertsitatea, GOTZON GARITAONAINDIA, HEGOALDE, JOSE ANTONIO AGIRRE, LABAYRU IKASTEGIA LEIZAUR, MAIZPIDE, MATIKO-TROKA, URUMEA, ZORNOTZAko Barnetegia,)
