A joint call for proposals issued by the France-based Organismo Público de la Lengua Vasca (OPLV) and the Departament of Culture of the Basque government, funded to the tune of 880,000 euros and 460,000 euros respectively, has concluded with grants being awarded to 62 projects presented by 50 organisations working in the fields of preschool education, teaching in Basque, the media, leisure, publications, vocational training in Basque, translation services, Basque language courses for adults, promoting the language in social life, and research.
The venture is a good example of cross-border cooperation, which started in 2003, and which developed into an official bilateral agreement signed in February 2007.
