We founded the Anoeta Gaztetxe in 2000. The assembly also existed in our town before, and the young people of the town used to gather on the top floor of the old town hall, which was in the square. But in 2000, due to various factors, the City Council left another premises to the assembly, which is now the youth center.
We started with a lot of enthusiasm in the Gaztetxe, but we had years of decline around 2009 because we didn’t manage to deliver the generational change well. Luckily, a lot of friends have joined the Gaztetxe in recent years, and we’ve formed a nice group. We organize a lot of events throughout the year, and at least we’re not at a standstill!
The main challenge for the assembly and the Gaztetxe is to involve the young people of the town and to promote relations between all of them. In addition, we intend to continue organizing various events throughout the year: concerts, lectures, documentary screenings, children's games… The site is self-managed and is managed by an assembly led by a four-member board. We meet every Friday.
