The Town hall of Azkarat, a village close to Donibane Garazi in Baxe Nafarroa, is promoting the creation of an International Center of the Diaspora in the castle of the locality. Among the organizations taking part in the project is EuskoSare. Next summer the Concordia organization - who specialize in organizing international programs of co-operation - will organize a group of collaborators to help in the rehabilitation and the restoration of the building. There are six spots for the Basque of the diaspora, who are to register through EuskoSare. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places available, Concordia will take care of the final selection.
Azkarat is a small village located very close to Donibane Garazi, capital of Baxe Navarre. The Town hall of this village wanted to save an abandoned medieval castle which will be transformed into future International Center of the Diaspora, and will group Basque descendants who want to travel to their mother country.
EuskoSare whose initiative seeks to increase the bonds between the Basque of the world, supports - with other organizations - this idea promoted by the town hall. The objective is not only to create this center as a place of reception for the descendants of the Basque, but to transform a castle which will serve as a Basque cultural medium.
