Korrika

Every two years people who love the Basque language take part in a run 
pro-this language. This run goes along all the Basque Country and is divided by kilometres. Each kilometre has a value depending on if it is in a lonely road in the countryside or in a big city. The first ones are cheaper than the others. Kilometres are bought by local governments, by TV channels, by newspapers, by cultural associations, by schools, by groups of friends, etc. The collected money is used to improve the learning system (material, facilities, teachers’ salaries, etc.) of the AEK (a group for teaching the Basque language).
