Fundación Centro de la Cultura Vasca Gure Mendietakoak

The Fundación Centro de la Cultura Vasca Gure Mendietakoak was founded in 2012 in Caldas, in the Medellín metropolitan area. It was set up to work on the Basque language, research and the spread of Basque culture. It was founded by John Alejandro Ricaurte, Catalina Fernández and a small group of others, and it grew out of the Centro de Estudios Vascos de Antioquia, which Ricaurte and Fernández had created in 2004 with other students of the Universidad de Antioquia. The Basque Government recognised it on 10 May 2013, and with it Colombia reached its third Basque centre. In 2019, together with the Centro de Estudios, it organised a day on the Basques and Antioquia in Envigado.
