It is an awareness campaign launched in 13 villages; and one of them is Donostia. For a month the will be asked the Basque translations of the inscriptions and communications in Spanish of businesses and institutions.

Despite progress, Euskara has less presence than the desired in the linguistic landscape. There are, still, signs only in Spanish in stores, bars, clubs or public institutions. The campaign is designed to change this and will have 4 steps:

1. Volunteers will point communications with signs and stickers of "eta hau ez zergatik euskaraz?". Then will be shared via Twitter and Instagram (indicating location and name of the comerce) or on the website (http: //euskaraz.365egun. EUS)

2. All pictures on the website.

3. Letters will be sent from the "Euskaltzaleen Elkartea" calling for the use of Euskara in the inscriptions and communications; offering help and advice.

4. Creating a report for Hizkuntza Eskubideen Behatokia and Elebide

For example, "su" ("fire") in Basque, "chou" ("col") in French and "shoe" ("shoe") in English are pronounced very similarly, but they have an entirely different meaning .

The registration deadline is until March 10, through the web of Donostia 2016. The participants will create the collection of words. With them, will be created different graphics media that will be used during 2016 with informative and poetic purposes.
