Euskaltegis at margins
Experts and victims have participated in the meetings of the UEU Department of Glottodidactics on Euskaltegis and intersectionality. There have been students in the middle, underprivileged, oppressed students in the corners. Because the dissident genres, the deaf, the blind, those who have diverse capacities, those who come from other cultures, those who are in prisons -- have difficulty learning Basque and feeling part of the Basque community.
The deaf, blind or students with some dyslexia have asked us to take them into account and ask them about how they like Euskera. The materials, the activities of the faculty, the group dynamics ... need to be adapted to make classroom practices accessible. But in addition, we have been emphasised that their learning process is often longer, that the analysis system has major shortcomings for them...
We have also seen that the Basque dissident genres live each identity differently (Euskaldun and dissident). The Basque Country and the “pen”, for example, have not been compatible. Those of the LGTBI+ group do not have “permission” to “dirty” the Basque people. Euskaltegis has a lot to think about, review the didactic materials...
The norm often limits our language and our creative possibilities, as most creation is outside the norm.
Far from what many people want to imagine, immigrants do not see Euskera as an obstacle and would like to Euskaldunizit, but the road is not easy. Money and time are the main obstacles, but the way of teaching does not help them too much either. Many do not have the habit of reading or do not have much grammatical knowledge, and in our case there is much in writing, too many, and grammar remains an important axis. The ghost of tests doesn't help either.
In prison, on the most marginalized bank of society, for many Basques the Basque is really the only free territory. But even those who have not had the Basque so close, feel it very far away. However, lately they have linked it to hugs and kisses, in this place of dark looks and a lot of violence. In addition, Euskera also needs its inhabitants, as it is a good source of lexical innovation and wealth in any society.
As the speakers of the extremes have told us to pull the ear, it is time to move from the speeches to the practice, as “people are being left out, and that cannot be accepted.” But in addition, they come to enrich the community and the language. As Sarri said at the meeting, language needs everything that is not regulated. The norm often limits our language and our creative possibilities, as most creation is done outside the norm.

Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
In the meetings we get together of everything, and the meetings characterize us at the moment when everyone has their role, their power (or their lack), their age, their vital moment. But there are always those who calm down. Lete was singing to us that when we were older, we... [+]
Perhaps one of the weaknesses of human beings is the tendency we have to listen to and care for the majority. It has certainly been an important feature of the development of our species and necessary for survival. But with digitalization, that characteristic that we have makes... [+]

You're in the bar, in the bar, asking. At the counter, other people too. It will soon take your turn, but the servant has not asked you what you want, he has saved you and he has taken care of the man who has come behind you. You have a stupid face and you want to draw the... [+]
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of... [+]
Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to... [+]
Being is doing. This is what the Durango Fair says this year, and it is true, at least in the case of the fair itself and taking into account Euskal Herria. This edition is already the 59th edition of the Azoka, and the fact that each year is celebrated shows that the Durango... [+]
In Bilbao, I worked for five years with groups at risk of exclusion around the digital divide, especially with women. Along the way, I came across machistan violence and many other problems. In a very organic way, I began to relate to myself and to understand the work of the... [+]
