It also qualifies and coordinates projects by researching their coherence and their interest for the general public.

  • promotion of euskara (the Basque language)
  • literature, theater and improvised poems and songs (bertsulari)
  • audiovisual production 
  • dance, music and song
  • visual arts
  • heritage and environment
