Euskal Diaspora Gunea · The Basque diaspora portal

The portal

Euskal Diaspora Gunea is a portal devoted to the history of the Basque diaspora: the history of those who, for different reasons, left Euskal Herria and set out for other parts of the world, taking with them something that would not fit in a suitcase: their identity, their language and their culture.

The Basque centres

Wherever they settled, they built communities and founded Basque centres. Places to meet and to belong, from which to keep customs alive, pass on the language and preserve a shared memory, generation after generation.

An anthropological view

This portal also proposes an anthropological view of the diaspora: of the forms of belonging that are built far from the land of origin, the ties that endure over time, and the ways in which a culture adapts, changes and stays alive in new places.
