TALDEAK: NABO
Focus (Advisory) Groups |
All the best ideas in the world remain just that, unless a group of
people pick them up and make them happen.
These five groups serve to 1) assemble like minds who are interested
in the same aspect of Basque culture to formulate and implement
initiatives and 2) keep our general meetings more brief on specifics
since that is worked out in committee. If interested in joining in
these conversations (3-5 times a year) email
info@nabasque.org
How it works
We are currently looking for volunteers for these focus
groups (follow the links): |
|
DANTZA & MUSIKA:
Dance & Music: shared resources, workshops, etc. |

|
|
DIRUA (Finances):
Budgeting, B.G. grant requests, etc. |
|
EUSKARA, KANTAK & MUS
Basque language promotion to learn & play |
|
GAZTEAK ("Youth"):
Includes 9 & under, Udaleku, Gaztealde, exchanges, etc. |
|
JAKINARAZI ("To Make
Known")
Education & Communication:
news, websites, media,
etc. |
|
KIROLAK ("Sports"):
Pilota, Pala & other Basque sports |
 |
|
WHY
GROUPS. At one end of the continuum is one person in NABO
making decisions, and at the other is all the voting
delegates. It's not advisable to go with either extreme
(e.g., NABO has to be more than just one person but asking
everyone to be engaged in everything isn't viable either).
So the hoped for remedy is the use of focus (advisory)
groups, consisting of volunteers who are specifically
interested in this aspect of Basque culture.
Organization of focus groups:
> All volunteer-based
consisting of NABO delegates and NABO associates (those
non-delegates/voting members who nevertheless step up to serve)
>
Consists of getting together a few times a
year via GoToMeeting phone teleconferences that last one hour each
because each person has to phone-in and pay their own phone
charges. |
