Stop slavery
They buy kisses from a butterfly in the San Francisco neighborhood, and supposedly sweet smiles. In the dark and cold nights, customers try to buy warmer eyes than fall trees, trusting that they will warm their souls. They also want to buy wings, many times, but
"Who hasn't apologized and evoked images of slavery that are not contemporary? I hope the dream is more enjoyable."
The wings are not for sale, because every morning you need our transparent butterflies to escape nightmares.
December 2 is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, and I often wonder if we do not remember the wrong image, the anachronistic image of slavery. In the image, the wives carrying George Washington and Leopoldo II.ak from Belgium predominate, with their slaves, while the others carried. However, is there not an image that better reflects the slavery of the twenty-first century? Sexual exploitation, human trafficking, child marriage, child exploitation, etc.
Let us not be hypocritical. When we talk about this issue, or when we hear it here or there, who has not apologized and evoked images of slavery that are not contemporary? I hope the dream will be more enjoyable.

The new bookstore will be based on Hazparn’s ideas – if this has not already been published –. It will be called Et’abar. It will be a typical shop with an offer of publications in Basque. It will not only operate in the interior of the Northern Basque Country. Over the... [+]
Immersed in information networks, I have come to some information about digital activism. When I think of digital activists, I also think of ways of organizing, not all of us—and addressing problems equally. Some approach digital activism from communication, others create... [+]
I could have written about the invasion in the hooligan of Bilbao, but I live in a small village and I have not suffered. I could have written about Euskaraldia to thank those of you who have helped us not turn our backs on Euskaraldia, but that is not what the body asks of... [+]
We have news from last week: A 67-year-old truck driver died while loading the truck. If it had been on the road, we would have heard “inconveniences on the road”, then, in a similar way, “a trucker has died in the accident”. Now that taking the train in Gipuzkoa has... [+]

The house was a space for the dead and the living in the old Basque customs. Children who were born dead or who had died before being baptized were buried next to an outer wall under the roof. The surnames were also associated with a house, the name given by the house to the one... [+]

In the debate on education, the neologism that some of us are using (I think we can call it that) is pedagogy, which perhaps needs an explanation. The idea is to give pedagogy a chance, separating the two things. As in the distinction between science and science, pedagogy would... [+]
Politikan, gizartean eragiteko nahiaren eta identitate zeinuetan sakontzearen arteko tentsioa ekidinezina da. Zabaltzearen eta norberaren ezaugarriak indartzearen arteko hartu-emana politikaren adierazle baita. Bi arloak lortu nahi izaten dira, eta elkarren artean elikatzen... [+]
