Our partners arrived yesterday. Some of them drove through France. Some others saw the petrified dunes in Gorliz, Bizkaia, before going back to the airport to fetch the rest of the group.
Today we visited the councils of Agurain and Araia. We walked around Agurain with a reporter, met the mayors of both towns and we learnt about energy projects in our area. We also visited Nestle and saw some of our parents working there. Thanks a lot We enjoyed our first day with you a lot. |
Our video about Pasaia
This video was created by Aniturri BHI students to show what they had learnt about Pasaia. It was projected during the visit to the Council in Pasaia.

Our video about Pasaia, the bay, and environmental problems. Regenerating the bay is a must:
We wanted to show our partners the high environmental value of the bay and the need of a new socio-economical fabric without building huge structures like a new outer-port which would make a big environmental impact. Local communities and stakeholders are working together to get this aim. Four districts with each own identity in a town, separated by the port. The port of Pasaia underwent a disorderly urban development accelerated by the big industrial activity in area. Authorities have finally understood that local communities were right. A new outer-port is unfeasible, but still, regenerating the bay is necessary to improve health and preserve natural heritage. The bay used to be a natural estuary, its surroundings became man-made sites for shipyards and warehouses. The are should become an attractive place to live between the water and the mountains at the heart of Bayonne-Donostia (San Sebastian) Eurocity sprawling urban area.

Goiener: nonprofit energy supplier cooperative
Today Goiner explained us their project and we had a very interesting discussion about renewable energy generation and purchase.More information about Goiener in English. Their web page
GoiEner´s objective is to become a nonprofit cooperative which brings together thousands of people with the desire to change the current energy system, and to work to achieve a model which is based on 100% renewable energy.
We don’t have to wait for the governments to do it for us – we can do it ourselves if we want to.
If every one of us requests that green energy be supplied to our homes, they will have to listen to us eventually.
If every one of us invests a small amount, it is possible to start up projects which generate renewable energy (solar, biogas, wind power, etc.). All this is achieved in an independent way, without depending on anything but our own will.
GoiEner wants to be a tool which allows us to move towards the future we want, and we can start that journey right now. Source: Goiener

Group work: stands and displays
Each country had to prepare a display and a stand for the European Green Market.
1. Partners walked around to get information, brochures, posters, watch videos and enquire.
2. Students from Aniturri walked around and visited the stands. The whole school could get to know the visitors and talk to them. At the same time, younger students were informed about the project. We motivated them to take part in the forthcoming years.
