Euskaltegis at margins
Experts and victims have participated in the meetings of the UEU Department of Glottodidactics on Euskaltegis and intersectionality. There have been students in the middle, underprivileged, oppressed students in the corners. Because the dissident genres, the deaf, the blind, those who have diverse capacities, those who come from other cultures, those who are in prisons -- have difficulty learning Basque and feeling part of the Basque community.
The deaf, blind or students with some dyslexia have asked us to take them into account and ask them about how they like Euskera. The materials, the activities of the faculty, the group dynamics ... need to be adapted to make classroom practices accessible. But in addition, we have been emphasised that their learning process is often longer, that the analysis system has major shortcomings for them...
We have also seen that the Basque dissident genres live each identity differently (Euskaldun and dissident). The Basque Country and the “pen”, for example, have not been compatible. Those of the LGTBI+ group do not have “permission” to “dirty” the Basque people. Euskaltegis has a lot to think about, review the didactic materials...
The norm often limits our language and our creative possibilities, as most creation is outside the norm.
Far from what many people want to imagine, immigrants do not see Euskera as an obstacle and would like to Euskaldunizit, but the road is not easy. Money and time are the main obstacles, but the way of teaching does not help them too much either. Many do not have the habit of reading or do not have much grammatical knowledge, and in our case there is much in writing, too many, and grammar remains an important axis. The ghost of tests doesn't help either.
In prison, on the most marginalized bank of society, for many Basques the Basque is really the only free territory. But even those who have not had the Basque so close, feel it very far away. However, lately they have linked it to hugs and kisses, in this place of dark looks and a lot of violence. In addition, Euskera also needs its inhabitants, as it is a good source of lexical innovation and wealth in any society.
As the speakers of the extremes have told us to pull the ear, it is time to move from the speeches to the practice, as “people are being left out, and that cannot be accepted.” But in addition, they come to enrich the community and the language. As Sarri said at the meeting, language needs everything that is not regulated. The norm often limits our language and our creative possibilities, as most creation is done outside the norm.

In recent years, I have made little progress. I have said it many times, I know, but just in case. Today I attended a bertsos session. “I wish you a lot.” Yes, that is why I have warned that I leave little, I assume that you are attending many cultural events, and that you... [+]

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

It is said that Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have complicit in the lines of the oppressed. It seems very normal to me... What do you want? When you're down, it's also understandable that you want to improve your condition, and... [+]

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... [+]
