In Basque public schools, teachers play a fundamental role in the management of diversity. They have had to reinvent their way of doing their work in recent years. Public schools seem to me to be laboratories to explore what it is to be a person in a more complex world. Teachers have no lack of imagination: moving students, mixing, fostering relationships... students transform classrooms into environments to create new global conceptions. However, we are aware that access to basic public services is not enough and of the importance of establishing meaningful relationships for a more active participation in society, for a better life. Perhaps guided by this idea, on Friday (May 31) some parents celebrated the day of inclusion in our school. The Maghreb parents shared the candy in their kitchen, the Basques dynamized rural sports, the sub-Saharan peoples decorated their hair to the children, a basketball game was played in wheelchairs… The mix given in the classroom left the room and excuses emerged to start talking to the “other” that is not common in the relationships, especially between the parents.
Fortunately, diversity is being strengthened in other areas of public education, such as technologies. At the last Moodle Moot Euskadi Meeting, the Berritzegune Nagusia shared good news related to the multisin: IRADI project, a free software-based online learning platform that the Basque Government Department of Education will offer to public centres. It is still in the development phase and, like all the tools, it will require constant innovation and work to adapt properly to the day-to-day situation of the centres. But it's very important news because student data will be stored on government servers and will protect children and families from private companies that can promote algorithmic exclusion to meet their economic interests. It will also boost the entire education system technologically. On 2 June the festival of the Basque Public School was held, the public is here! And keep it that way!

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
