The art of raising your hand
The Assyrian and Babylonian students did not know the art of raising their hand. It took centuries, and maybe a few millennia, for a student at an Egyptian school, who wanted to ask him something, to try to raise his hand: the teacher who gave an explanation, and the student, who seemed to have begun to doubt this truth, felt an impulse to raise his hand.
The others, seeing the funny interrogation gesture, looked at him with concern. The small Egyptian was ashamed of the scandal that had caused him his natural curiosity and, raising his hand, scratched his head without knowing what to do. It is true that the student did not ask anything, but he took the first step to raise his hand. The road had been scorched.
The same was said by Gianni Rodari at the beginning of a story. For doubt. Curiosity. For the conversation. And as you read that story, you've been asked the questions, at the beginning of the new course: Where have diversity (culture) been well managed? In what society (culture) have diversity not been a source of conflict?
Rentrée on.

Dear Mrs:
How about summer? I hope. On this occasion, I will go to the point, with your permission.
As you know, coming into the competitive logic of ultra-liberal markets, educational institutions must implement all kinds of "projects". You should know that many of them do not... [+]
It is often said that the summer season is a parenthesis in politics. Perhaps anyone who has a purely institutional view of politics thinks so, but the summer of this year, which is still about to end, has given us something to look at.
In the autonomous community of Araba,... [+]
In these periods hyper accelerate and in these fluids the blunt responses offer us handles. It is easy in times of crisis to grasp such a premise and raise the flag. You need quick answers to understand everything that happens around you, which often leads us to look for the... [+]
Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.
For the health and... [+]
They have been completed, the means have been put in place and quite quickly. What a relief when everything was quiet! But the balance has been great and yet another terror has been piled up behind his eyes, because at some point they thought they might never return, or not at... [+]
I have few friends with a European feeling, I do not know whether Europeity becomes an identity. But when we travel to Europe, a friendship may emerge, because the main areas of territoriality that are taking place in Europe and in Europe are shared, where it is decided to... [+]
There are several people to study, including Elon Musk. The idea of freedom that they have seems to come from the need to control everything, to have all the power, because being all the power is easier to create business, there is no discussion; the hegemonic models grow with... [+]
It is not Christmas, however, there will soon be decorations in the big shops to announce it, or at least they say so. In the shop window “Zorionak! Claims like “Gabon ederra passes!” will be exposed everywhere. However, congratulations can be many: the lottery, bringing a... [+]
On May 17, five Euskaltzales of Ipar and Hego Euskal Herria performed an action coinciding with the call made by the students of the Bernat Etxepare lyceum to mobilize in favor of the Basque. On the wall of the Baiona Subprefecture, a message was sent to the authorities of the... [+]
Next Saturday, September 21, Subflubial NO! Those on the platform will come back to the street. On this occasion, at 12:00 hours, a camp will be held in the park Artatza. There will be market, music, bertsolaris, storytellers and many other activities. We want to make known and... [+]
One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]
Among many falls, there are also achievements. A young mother of about 35 years old asked me the other day how they could get in their school that the classmates who had not received Euskera at home learn and speak as well as the boys and girls who were Euskaldunes at home. In... [+]
I don't know if we're hit by heat waves anymore, if it's a normal hypocrisy or a systemic logic, but the gap between what we know, what we say and what we do, beyond concern, surprises me, especially in a summer environment. News, research, social media interactions… constitute a... [+]
