For three days Oiartzun will become a meeting point for transformative projects focused on sovereignty and eco-social transition
- From 17 to 19 October, Oiartzun Burujab and Udalbiltza organised a conference under the name of Soberanias. In addition to learning about the local transformative experiences, the Mayor of Girona, Lluc Salellas, and the former Cup parliamentarian, Mireia Vehí, will participate in conferences.
“It will be an opportunity to learn about projects from the perspective of popular construction and transformative municipal construction”, as the representatives of Oiartzun Burujab and Udalbiltza speak about the Burujabak project to be developed in Oiartzun from 17 to 19 October. For those days, meetings have been organized to get to know and reflect on different experiences, but also on Saturday you will be able to enjoy the concerts and the musical performances that will take place.
Oiartzun arrives with the relay of the Hernani days, organized in collaboration with Udalbiltza. The aim is for the oiartzuarras to commit themselves to the so-called “country pact”, since the Oiartzun Burujabe initiative has just begun in this village.
Oiartzun took over last year's days by Hernani Burujab, in collaboration with Udalbiltza. The aim is for the oiartzuarras to commit themselves to the so-called “country pact”, since the Oiartzun Burujabe initiative recently started in this town: “We saw it important to organize days in the people themselves to make known and value the projects that are underway,” said Councilor Olaia Lasa.
Events and conferences will be held in the morning and afternoon hours, in an open manner, although to participate in some of them it will be necessary to register.
