Turning the school
We present education as indispensable for social transformation. Children and young people who will build the society of the future (transforming the present and the future as if it were not in the hands of adults...) is a way to move away from oppressive thoughts, attitudes and actions and build egalitarian relationships. And that is, yes, to reverse this unfair society, we have to necessarily influence education. Although we know that education is somewhat broader, when we hear education comes to the head of school. It is what we want to address: what basis is there in school to move away from the culture of domination?
We can present the school as a regenerator of the culture of domination, as a disciplinary device for the ciisheteropatriar-capitalist colonialist society. But education can also be key to transformation. The question is whether or not it is.
We must become aware of all the power relations in school, analyze how far the culture of domination is immersed.
If it is a transformation, we must look at the relations in it. In fact, the transmission of content can be done in a hierarchical way and in a single direction, but values are transmitted with relationships, in a two-way dynamic and with an example. Therefore, we must focus on the power relations that occur in school. Not just among students. In fact, the problem is simply the problem of student relationships, and that is done many times. It seems that in the professor-professor relationship, professor-student, professor of management, professor-other professionals ... there is no relationship of power asymmetry. We're wrong if we think that way.
In our work we see how, when the relationships among students are oppressive, the logic of domination in the relationships among adults at school is often reproduced with force. We also see the consequences of this; teachers who have already lost their passion for transformation, individualism, lack of sense of the community... paralysis and disappointment of the dominated, fruit of the culture of domination.
Therefore, we must become aware of all power relations in school, analyze how far the culture of domination is immersed. If this is not done, it is useless to work values (let us not say the workshops of these agents). We always talk about the fact that egalitarian/feminist values must be addressed in a transversal way, but to do so the first thing to do is to analyze and transform the educational system, the school itself and how all the people in it are crossed by the culture of domination. That is, to become aware of the position and power one has and become an agent of transformation.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]
Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.
The reading of the documentation... [+]
Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
