The Basques out of school and we are proud
We are a group of Basque parents, and proud to be Basque. And proud to take care of what we want, Euskara and children. These proud also to work in Basque at school, at home, among friends... But what about after-school activities?
Many fathers and mothers have already put themselves in front of the new course and to choose outside the school of our children. But like every year, we find ourselves with a pawn to overcome. It's been up to us to do research and exploration work so that our boys and girls have an offer in Euskera. To call from one side to the other, to ask here and there, and that our children can make music, drawing, circus, karate, climbing, theatre, swimming, yoga,… All are obstacles to doing it in EUSKERA: sometimes there is no offer, sometimes there are no vasco-speaking professors but we cannot ensure that the group is Euskaldun, that children from Castilian and Spanish also have the right to join. Therefore, Euskera and Euskaldunes children are in the background, in the Navarre capital and in many neighbourhoods and towns in the area.
All of them have been located in both private and public supply centers. We miss the Basque groups in the Sports Federations, in the Schools of Music and Sports Facilities managed by the administration, in the offers of private entities... What's why? desiccation, discouragement or relaxation, or... Can it be treated as a secondary language? Or want not to have enough Basque and not to be proud of being Basque?
We are Euskaldunes and we want to live in Euskera at home, on the street, in school, also when we do sports, when we learn music and when in the pool we go with the plista-plast, when we ride the helmet on the wall or when we dance ballet. Regardless of the activity we choose, we want to do it in Basque: because we want to know the names of all the swimming styles in Basque, because we want our coaches to encourage us in Basque, we want groups of Basque music, we want to relax in Basque…
We, because we are Basques, because we are proud and because it makes us Euskaldunes to work in Basque in all places and activities! Because we want to live and work in Basque! Because Euskera is livable and because life in Euskera is a right that must be guaranteed... we will take over Euskera and Euskera, all those who organize extracurricular activities, we ask you to offer Euskera. For our Txikis to be very Euskaldunes, for you too to be Euskaldunes, for speaking in Basque in all places and activities makes us very Euskaldunes.

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]
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... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
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... [+]
