Objectives

The Bidasoa Fair aims to bring together cross-border stakeholders committed to promoting the use of the Basque language, such as cultural associations, leisure associations and public institutions, to exchange and share inspiring experiences and knowledge.

Dates : 01/06/2022 – 30/11/2023
Budget : 25 000 €

Project actions

  • Fair: 6 May in Bera de Bidasoa
    Over 20 stands
    Over 120 visitors
  • Over 30 meetings to exchange experiences
  • Activities designed to encourage collaboration between stakeholders
  • Digital catalogue of projects

Results

  • Fifteen projects from different parts of the Basque territory were showcased at the fair, including projects developed in the Basque Autonomous Community, the Autonomous Community of Navarre, and projects launched in the Basque territories of New Aquitaine.
  • The fair also provided an opportunity to learn about different experiences (leisure, sport, social transformation) and to create opportunities for cross-border exchange of these experiences, strengthening relations between different associations.
  • The catalogue compiled from the projects presented at the fair will aim to explore in greater depth the networks and cooperation opportunities that emerged from the event.

Acknowledgements

This call for microprojects has been funded with the surplus of the Spain–France–Andorra Territorial Cooperation Operational Programme (POCTEFA) 2007–2013, which was transferred to the Member States (Spain and France) as national contributions, thus losing its status as ERDF funds.
This call was managed jointly by all the institutional partners listed below.
With a budget of €575,000, it financed 100% of the eligible expenses of the territorial cooperation micro-projects presented on this website.
