Transformative municipal and urban building: Conference to award Basque Country sovereign initiatives in Hernani
- The popular project Hernani Burujab, the City Hall of Hernani and Udalbiltza have organized a three-day conference between 19 and 21 October, focused on the theme of emancipation, with the objective of working citizenship and the municipality from a transformative perspective. There will be conferences and round tables on different expectations.
People working in the field of transformation have a date in Hernani in October. This Wednesday, the conference was held to share transformative experiences of Sovereignty, Municipality and Citizenship. It is organized by the Hernani City Hall, the Hernani Burujab Municipal Project and Udalbiltza.
The presentation included: Xabier Lertxundi and Itsaso Lekuona, mayor and councillor of Hernani, respectively; Haritz Alberdi, newly appointed president of Udalbiltza and Clara Rouget, director of that entity; and Aines del Valle and Ander Larretxea, members of the Pro-Sovereign Association.
Under the umbrella of the heads
For the last two years, the Hernani Burujab and Lertxundi project have been launched in Hernani, and consider that "the proposal we make can be suitable for other peoples". In this sense, he considers collaboration with Udalbiltza "indispensable".
On the other hand, Alberdi has underlined the importance of Udalbiltza, as he considers that it is a "perfect tool" to project out of it the transformative initiatives being carried out in the municipalities: "A day of this kind allows us to know different experiences and reward all the work we are doing," he said.
In addition to Hernani, many other places are working from this transformative perspective and "under the umbrella of sovereignty". All these experiences have been accumulating and now the challenge is to articulate them in a "systemic" way, explain from the organization
