The website offers reflections, materials and antecedents for the creation of citizen initiatives. To start a concrete process, it is already proposed to start grouping groups and... What to do? for example:

- Round of thanks. Maybe they're the most popularized halloween exits. Similar to Christmas, Carnival or Santa Águeda.

- Costume and makeup workshops.

- Terror route. Interesting collective activity that can be organized in the dark.

- Smoking fears. The same thing that other parties do is make fires and quems of costumes.

- Pumpkin workshops. It can also be done with turnips and beets, which were not imported, but with Basque tradition, which has not until so long.

- Gaztainerre. A tradition that has been celebrated in different places on the second Monday after the day of the soul. It is proposed that family or txoko dinner be able to go to the plaza.

- Transmission. It's not so long ago that it's about how these things were done to learn.

- Cultural activities in general.
