- The transformative economy initiative Beterri Saretuz organizes a third session on Experience Exchange in Hernani on Labor Inclusion on Wednesday. These are spaces in which knowledge is shared between companies and "heard and learned" about different topics.
Next Wednesday, May 11, a session will be held in Hernani to exchange experiences on labor inclusion and the most common questions and doubts in companies, within the Exchanges of Experiences organized by the initiative of the transforming economy of Beterri Saretuz Beterri-Buruntza. "How could we work in our companies to include people at risk of social exclusion?" This is one of the questions that you're going to try to answer. They will also have guests to explain how they work on inclusion.
On the one hand, Jennifer Alonso, of the non-profit working society Sutargi, based in Lasarte-Oria. Sutargi has been working with people at risk or with a disability since 1992. ARGIA interviewed Alonso in this sense: "From the moment we start reflecting on the vision and values of companies or projects, many things can be done in relation to inclusion," he explains.
On the other hand, Andoni Zulaika, from the Zabalduz cooperative, will also speak on Wednesday at Hernani’s session. Zabalduz works, among other things, with people in situations of disprotection and vulnerability, and one of its lines is socio-labor inclusion. It manages, for example, the Batz programme for the employment of young people who are part of the Protection and Inclusion Network of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa.
The session will take place at the headquarters of the Bogan Cooperative Group in Hernani, in the Ibaiondo Industrial Polygon (Orbegozo Building), from 11:00 to 13:00, and registration is open.
"The cycle of membership processes is much longer"
Last week there was a new exchange of experiences around partner processes at the Iturola Associated Work Center of Hernani: "We have had the opportunity to share our strengths, weaknesses and concerns on the part of each of the companies and agents," explains Maitane Barrenetxea, partner and dynamizing the Saretuz programme.
"Two are the issues we've taken the longest. On the one hand, which affiliation processes are related to candidatures; that the process does not start from the moment we are partners, that the cycle is much broader. And on the other hand, what do we link to being partners with?"
After the third session, the cycle will be closed with the holding on 1 June of the women’s forum of the Beterri Saretuze region.
