From dining room to dining room
School canteens are spaces for promoting food sovereignty. It brings together justice, educational resources, the circular economy, waste management and the defence of good practices; an excellent tool to strengthen change in the social model.
Our concern for the dining model is not this morning. Seeing that the current model was exhausted, two years ago we set up in the union a working group from Dining Room to Dining. At the same time, the case of the fraud of catering companies came to light; we were not surprised, we knew that they were doing business for the children of schools and with the complicity of the public administration.
The case of the fraud of catering companies came to light, we were not surprised, we knew that they were doing business with the complicity of the public administration on behalf of the children.
The need for change in the dining room model was and is evident. A change that will take place through alliances. Students, teachers, families, staff of canteens, fishermen and baserritarras, administration... It must be the wager of an entire community. And for that purpose, we have also held some internal days to broaden our vision and complete the diagnosis. We have worked together with students, teachers, fathers and mothers, fishermen, baserritars and canteens workers and have worked on a comprehensive proposal from the conciliation of the various contributions. It is based on three pillars:
– The new model should be based on food sovereignty, deciding which foods and how to produce them. Our choice is local and seasonal agro-ecological foods. We must commit ourselves to the working and living conditions of the baserritars and fishermen, and the primary sector must be a source of quality employment.
– It must be an educational model, for the students the dining room must be a friendly space, with nutrition, coexistence, livestock, marine species, regional economy... The learning space should be included in the curriculum of the center.
– The working conditions of the staff of the school canteens should be of quality, compared to the current ones.
One or the other: either we have sovereignty over the dining model, or the neoliberal model will continue to use the food system, including that of school canteens, to do business. The multinationals defend the complicity of governments, not olvidemos.El
the Basque Government also backs us in this area. This is a unilateral and irresponsible decision that opens the door wide to the elimination and deregulation of equal opportunities. If they impose this position, there will be no control whatsoever and insecurity will be total. The Basque Government is relinquishing the responsibilities of its staff.
From LAB we demand a quality public model, and in this way we propose concrete measures: to put kitchens in all schools, to have all the staff for the staff of the Department of Education, to develop a plan to achieve it, for educators and educators; to promote a process of subrogation that takes all the guarantees.
The debate is therefore not over. We continue to fight for school canteens to be a space and a tool for change.

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.

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.

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... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]

“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... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
In Sociology of Education there is a classical question: Why does the education system exist in a society? The answers to the question are numerous and change according to the time. But among them, it should be noted that the main objective of the school is the creation of... [+]
