International Symposium on the Basque Diaspora and Cultural Expressions

Hosted by the Basque Studies Foundation, in partnership with Basque Studies at Boise State University, the Zortziak Bat International Symposium is an educational gathering that will explore what often has been called “Zortziak Bat,” or the “8th Province,” a reference to the expansion of Zazpiak Bat (“Seven are One”) to include the Basque Diaspora. 

The theme is “Rowing Together,” where individuals and communities work together to support, encourage, and inspire learning about the Basques. The symposium gathers scholars, creators, and cultural experts to examine the vibrant mosaic of Basque identities as it has grown and transformed within diaspora communities. We also invite students to attend the symposium, providing them a unique way to learn about the Basque Diaspora from professionals in a broad range of cultural disciplines and fields of expertise.

The BEO is a proud partner of this event, inviting the creative side of education to the fold. More information to come.
