May 18 at Orona Gallery of Hernani. We gathered a hundred people, convened by the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, around the Euskara 4.0 dynamic. We uncover for almost two hours the searches we are carrying out to advance the process of Euskera. Rapporteurs from different policy areas: DFG (Deputy General and I, Treasury, Kabia), UPV/EHU, HPS, Euskaltzaleen Topagunea, Soziolinguistika Klusterra, Hekimen, Euskalit and Mondragon Corporation. To carry out the process of revitalizing the Basque Country from the crossroads, we are looking for the way between organizations and agents of all kinds; in fruitful collaboration and in a spirit of innovation.

Interestingly, ARGIA put the title to the chronicle written there: “Part of the Basque cultural activity and the collaboration between the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa”. I didn't understand it very well, but it reminded me of the famous title of that English newspaper. “The stain closed down to the low tide of the strait has left the continent isolated.”

Apart from the jokes, the movements observed are serious and deep. I myself have seen more clearly the process of participation that we are carrying out in the Parliament. This year we have completed the second phase, and it has been very clear that most of the participants are not in the same place as two years ago.

What happened at the Udaltop Conference was both public and prominent in the same direction. The up-to-date social activation and the announcement of an innovative proposal made registration overflow, leading to the opening of a waiting list. The participants who nearly doubled the usual number received “hopeful” the proposal jointly developed by HPS and Euskaltzaleen Topagunea, around a line of work to promote activation throughout the Basque Country. The day ended with an atmosphere of illusion and has received the highest rating of its history in the next survey.

For those of us who claim a community of strong and emancipated speakers, this dynamic is very satisfying; for public and social institutions to work naturally in collaboration, something we have dreamed of for years. I would say that we are building a new “we”, a new “we”, broad, common, integrative, around the Basque country.

It's not unity, it's unification; it's not the only route, it's trajectory synchronization; it's not a monolithic goal, it's a constellation of goals. We are a complex society, we don't need uniforms. Yes, however, a culture of cooperation in favour of common interests. For example, by revitalizing the Basque country.
