15
Gazteak Current Youth Programs Programs established and implemented by NABO: Udaleku (10-15 años) Gaztealde (16 años +) Junior Mus Pilota Programs carried out independently by member clubs: Euskal Dantzak Txistu Euskara

17
Gazteak Programs in Developmental Stages Children 9 and under – foster a positive association with Basque culture in a recreational environment familiarize children with Basque culture and language
18
Gazteak The objective is not necessarily to cover Basque topics, but rather to provide recreational activities so that they form a positive association with the Basque club and other members. For example, activities may revolve around holidays or seasons and include some Basque vocabulary, a game, or song, etc. Each child will have a finished project to take home and share with his or her family. Esku Lanak - Craft and Activity Packets for use with Children 9 and Under Scripted craft and play sessions will be developed for use by Basque clubs. Each packet will have a specific topic and will take one or two hours to complete. Each session will include social and creative components and will expose the children to Euskara.
19
Gazteak Each packet will include– Lesson Plan for leader A craft project Instructions and patterns Vocabulary list Supplies list Ancillary materials in the form of a CD with mpgs, mp3s and text files
20
Gazteak Youth 16 and Up – Combine recreational and educational components Develop leadership skills Develp and maintain social networks Foster a “can-do” attitude among participants Develop organizational and teamwork skills Appeal to a wider range of participants than current programs Endow participants with practical skills that will enrich them on both personal and professional levels

Bi-annual regional sessions will include: ice-breakers team-building activities multimedia presentation on Basque culture with emphasis on diversity of cultural aspects Mentored library/computer lab research to compile facts about Basque culture (European and diaspora) to be used in handbook that will be provided to contestants).

Gazteak Gaztealde Film School and Festival Participants would learn basic film-making skills from a qualified expert, create their own short movies and debut them at the NABO convention. They would later be accessible online. Teaches a unique skill which enriches participants personally and possibly professionally Gives us a window into their perspective on Basque identity which will help guide the development of further programs Provides entertainment for convention attendees Creates individuals who will have a skill to offer their local clubs for creation of materials for historical preservation and promotional purposes.
