The second weekend of April, 52 young AEGEEans will gather in Berriz for one of the greatest AEGEE events: a Network Meeting! During three days, invaded by the AEGEE spirit, all the beloved participants will HAVE a great time in a traditional cozy village, being surrounded by lovely nature and learning about Basque language and culture.<br \/>\nA Network Meeting helps you deepen your AEGEE knowledge and learn more about being an active European citizen. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to meet new people, discuss important issues about our organisation and learn how to improve their locals. Besides, they will have a lot of fun with the social program.<br \/>\nBut\u2026 aren\u2019t we visiting Bilbao? Don\u2019t worry, after the event we will give you the opportunity of discovering everything about Bilbao and the Basque traditions. Don\u2019t miss the chance to fall in love with the gastronomy and the culture of the Basque Country.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Spring NWM in <strong>Bilbao will be a thematic NWM<\/strong>, focusing on the topic <strong>of language diversity and minority languages in Europe<\/strong>, because we want a diverse and borderless Europe. This means that both the social programme and a part of the time for the workshops will be about this topic, offering participants the opportunity to get an outlook of Basque language and culture. However, we won\u2019t give any boring language lessons or long presentations. At our event, participants will get to know each other by playing language games, dance traditional Basque dances, run a language relay-race, discover local poetry and history by asking citizens, sing in different languages and perform short plays while they are disguised with folk clothes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">General Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>52 participants from all over Europe plus organizers and trainers <strong>HOW MANY? \u2731<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bxv3me9xA-C4MnEyY0xwS014LWM\" width=\"88\" height=\"88\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bxv3me9xA-C4NXRLUkR5NWZqUk0\" width=\"99\" height=\"99\" \/><\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2731 WHEN?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> From\u00a0 Thursday 6<sup>th<\/sup> to Sunday\u00a0 9<sup>th<\/sup>of \u00a0April 2017<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Olakueta Hostel,\u00a0 in the city of Berriz, 40 km far from Bilbao \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>W<\/strong><strong>HERE?\u00a0\u2731 <\/strong><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bxv3me9xA-C4bGV2NVI0QnUwYzA\" width=\"93\" height=\"93\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download&amp;id=0Bxv3me9xA-C4WG1oMDZEdWVoR3M\" width=\"81\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2731HOW MUCH and <\/strong><strong>WHAT&#8217;S INCLUDED?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 120px;\">\u2014 3 meals per day<br \/>\n\u2014 Accommodation in hostel located in a traditional village from the Basque countryside<br \/>\n\u2014 Coffee breaks<br \/>\n\u2014 Social program<br \/>\n\u2014 Training session<br \/>\n\u2014 Fun with 52 more participants from all over Europe, enjoying the famous AEGEE spirit and much more!<\/p>\n<h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p>AEGEE Bilbao is very thankful and proud to present the sponsors who made posible the NWM: \u00abThe North is worth a Meeting\u00bb.
