Hacemos música con Oskorri: una experiencia innovadora en la formación del futuro profesorado de música de educación primaria

Durante los tres últimos cursos, la asignatura troncal Agrupaciones Musicales de la titulación de Maestro/a en Educación Musical que se imparte en la Escuela de Magisterio de Bilbao (Universidad del País Vasco-EHU), ha girado en torno a la participación en un concierto con Oskorri. Este grupo folk, considerado como uno de los mejores de la península, lleva a cabo desde hace trece años el proyecto “The Pub ibiltaria” cuyo objetivo es la recuperación y difusión de las canciones tradicionales vascas. Para ello, cada año presenta un programa de 16 ó 17 canciones y pide la colaboración de músicos para tocar en el concierto, que se graba en directo, y en el que el público participa cantando. El concierto se desarrolla en el marco de la fiesta de Santo Tomás, una fiesta muy popular y concurrida que se celebra en Bilbao el 21 de diciembre

Lengua y derecho a la educación en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco : reflexiones jurídicas sobre el tránsito hacia un nuevo modelo

The article analyzes the legal regime of Euskara in the education system of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (capv). In the capv, the legislation recognizes the right to choose the language of study during the educational cycle. The students are separated into different classrooms based on their language preference. This system of separation (of language models) has made it possible to make great strides, although its implementation also suggests aspects which, from the perspective of a pluralistic Basque society on its way towards greater social, political and language integration, call for further reflection The general model for language planning in the capv was fashioned in the eighties as a model characterized by the guarantee of spaces of language freedom, and the educational system was charged with making the learning of the region’s autochthonous language more widespread. At this point, we already have a fair degree of evidence on which to base an analysis of the system of language models and we are in a position to conclude that perhaps the educational system was given too heavy a burden. Official studies on language performance of Basque schoolchildren show (in a way that is now fully verified) that not all the students who finish their mandatory period of schooling achieve the level of knowledge of Euskara required by the regulations. When faced with this reality, it becomes necessary for us to articulate some alternative to the current configuration of the system of language models, one that will make it possible in the future to have a Basque society that is linguistically more integrated, thereby avoiding having the knowledge or lack of knowledge of one of the official languages become a language barrier between two communities. Many sides have urged a reconsideration of the system of language models. The Basque Parliament itself has requested the Department of Education to design a new system. This article analyzes the legal foundations on which the current system is built and explores the potential avenues for legal cooperation that would make it possible to move towards a new system aimed at guaranteeing higher rates of bilingualism. The system would be sufficiently flexible so as to be able to respond to and accommodate the different sociolinguistic realities of the region.
