Former Bertsozale Coordinator Elkartea Aritz Zerain Miner looks from the glasses of the transformative social economy

  • The Bertsozale Elkartea Association has, since its inception, placed itself in the values and fundamentals of the transforming social economy ESE, and hence has taken all the strategic steps. The former coordinator of Bertsozale Elkartea, Aritz Zerain Miner, has analyzed the association from this perspective and you can read it on the website bertsozale.eus.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Zerain begins with a definition of a transformative social economy: "The Transformative Social Economy is a collective act to build an alternative economic system, in which solidarity, collectivity and putting life at the center are the main values. The economy is an instrument for the needs of life and the person; a resource and not an end. But this movement or vision is not only an economic proposal or practice, but also a political and cultural proposal or practice". (Follow KoopFabrika definition)

Taking this definition into account, the former coordinator believes that Bertsozale Elkartea is related to the characteristics of the ESE. The reasons given are as follows:

  • To safeguard the heritage of the Bertsozale Elkartea Association, there is co-responsibility and collective self-organisation of bertsolaris and amateurs.
  • Build NETWORKS for the transformation of bertsolarism and other processes of transformation from strong roots.
  • The Association offers from administrative autonomy, cooperation and collaboration.
  • It generates new and diversified ideas, tools and concepts for the transformation of Bertsolaris.

Bertsozale Elkartea is a project that has social viability and offers the possibility of satisfying the personal development and different motivations of its members. The objective of the partnership is to achieve an economic viability of "solidarity and public collaboration", as explained. Zerain makes the presentation challenging the future: "The Bertsozale Elkartea association is not an isolated case. Society is constantly changing and also the way herrigintza/elkartegintza is made. Under the motto "everything for the project" we have built in this town powerful projects, and now we have to "rebuild the herrigintza/elkartegintza" based on the person-project balance". He sees the need to "move forward with new and colored glasses".
