Gernika Gogoratuz facilitates a meeting between students from the Berlin Schadow-Gymnasium and students from the Ikastola Lauaxeta with two people from Gernika who, as young people, had lived through and suffered the violation of their human rights under Franco’s regime. The activity took place on the morning of 8 April in the former armaments factory, now the ASTRA Cultural Centre, as part of the programmes subsidised by the Basque Government’s Directorate for Human Rights and Victim Support.

In the afternoon, the meeting was between students from the Menesian School of Santo Domingo de la Calzada (La Rioja) with Crucita Etxabe, a survivor of the Bombing of Gernika. Crucita gave her testimony of the Bombing of Gernika and shared her experiences as a ‘War Child’, exiled in France. The activity also took place on 8 April in the former armaments factory, now the ASTRA Cultural Centre, as part of the programmes subsidised by the Basque Government’s Directorate for Human Rights and Victim Support.
