Continue with the cooperative wave of Euskalgintza
The agents who are working on the development of transformative cooperativism tell us, through five cooperative waves, the development of Basque cooperativism, with the aim of giving depth to its history and plurality of character. In this sense, we place the third cooperative wave in the flowering of the self-training projects that was the Basque cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.
Even though that wave provided a plentiful harvest that has come to this day, some projects were halfway or without real development, such as the stone apostles of Oteiza, who for fifteen years remained on the edge of the Arantzazu road. What happened along the way?
"In the coming convulsive and apocalyptic times, the choice of Basque culture will be important: approval or transformation; submission or sovereignty"
The 1970s gave many possibilities of self-formation, as the pulsation of the need to do everything developed strong citizen dynamics. But it was also the time of institutionalization, as the self-formed instruments also had the need to achieve stable forms. This need was developed in three ways: administrative public, market and social economy. The paradigm of regime 78 was the great development of public space. Also in the field of Basque culture, especially in its beginnings, several self-formed projects became public, always within the framework of the State of the Autonomies. From time to time, this line began to diffuse, especially due to the paradigm of commodification, and from a moment on, projects with a goal and a public or community vision tended to be homologated within the framework of the capitalist market. Where, then, has the social economy remained?
Many projects, fleeing from the autonomic state model or from the merkantila dichotomy, have chosen to move forward in the cooperative formulas they have adopted from the beginning or later, addressing the path of community autonomy offered by the social economy. In the bases of Basque cultural activity it has been important to answer questions such as what and how: resources and structures have been created to live in Basque, but it has been given importance to manage them in a citizen and democratic way, since solidaridad.En the next convulsive and apocalyptic times, the choice of Basque culture will be important: approval or transformation; submission
or sovereignty. We have projects that draw futures in Euskera, such as the Aiaraldea Activity Branch. Cooperativism and independent work will be important instruments on the road to transformation.

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... [+]

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.

“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... [+]

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... [+]
