HNP stands for Hizkuntza Normalkuntza Proiektua, Program for Normalization of the Language. It is difficult to understand that, having our own language, and despite the fact that all young people use it as a vehicular language at all levels of education, in their daily relationships and between them they do not use their own language. This also occurs among many adults. We want to show young people that if they do not use their own language, in the end it will be lost, no matter how much economic investment is made.
In Botikazar, various activities are organized to facilitate the use of Euskara (Basque language) in different areas of life: classes to prepare the certificate granting the domain of the language, outings to the theater, the day of Basque language, competitions... We understand that the normalization of the Basque language is a daily work of awareness and use of our Euskara.
In PE, students learn to dance the typical dances of Basque festivals. On special days and to give a nice end to each academic year, most of the students and some teachers dance in the schoolyard together.
Here you are a website about those dances, created by students, and a video.
