For the governing bodies of GEROA, this means being able to pay an annuity of at least the maximum contribution amount of the prior year over a prolonged period, i.e., between at least 20 years and for life. This Strategic Plan sets out 5 STRATEGIC LINES to be developed through different actions over the next 3 years. 1. Awareness and dissemination plan This strategic line forms part of the challenge to improve member satisfaction. In order to achieve this, we have switched collaboration agency, and our current ally is the San Sebastian- based company breakingmolds. The first step was to publish avideo that identifies the spirit of GEROA, which was awarded the Euskalit short film prize. Izaskun Legazkue and Eduardo García, collecting the Euskalit award. Furthermore, the new Welcome Pack has been sent out to the more than 1,300 new members of the Entity. All of the above is aimed at giving our members a better understanding of what GEROA is, its objective, its values and principal traits. 12 New Strategic Plan 2019-2021 2. Analysis of unemployment benefit To develop the second line of our strategic plan we hired, the Junior company of the Faculty of Deusto, to conduct a study of the different state social benefits, the results of which will be available in 2020. The incorporation of this contingency into those covered by GEROA is being done in such a way that it does not jeopardise the beneficiaries of said aid. ESME is the Junior Company of the Deusto University. 3. Analyse Geroa´s social responsibility “GEROA has been taken GEROA is an entity that avails of the financial markets several times as a model in order to achieve its objective of providing monthly supplements to workers’ pensions, an eminently SOCIAL to follow both at the level objective. of the Basque Country Proof of our social responsibility is manifold, such as the and at the state level.” equal and altruistic involvement of social agents in our governing bodies, a largely female workforce, a policy of choosing local suppliers or various lines aimed at promoting local investment. We were also the first employment EPSV to sign up to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in relation to Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). As a consequence of all of the above, GEROA has been chosen several times as a shining example both at Basque level, as a reference for the General Deputy of Bizkaia, at state level, through the Toledo Pact, -where Virginia Oregui, a manager of the Entity, intervened in 2018 and for which she was congratulated by parties from across the political spectrum - as well as at European level, where we have received 3 awards from the prestigious IPE magazine. 13 Geroa Pentsioak, Entidad de Previsión Social Voluntaria de Empleo Social impact 2019 22 Workers 10.10% Investments in the Basque Country 100% Indefinite contract 7.1 millions Local investment 2019 1 Person recruited 195 New jobs in companies owned by Orza or directly 0% Turnover ratio 2 People in the Euskalit evaluation club 73% Women 27% Men on staff 50% Unions and 50% ADEGI at the Governing Board 9% 0-30 years 74% 30-50 Years 17% Over 50 10 Womens and 16 Men on the 1,274 Training hours Governing Board 86% Service in Basque 0€ Board Members remuneration Geroa has a Remuneration Policy approved by the Governing Board where the absence of Variable Remuneration is established.

    Dialectologia 16 (2016), 71-91. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 25 June 2014. Accepted 10 June 2015. THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIATION OF PALATALIZATION: THE CASE OF GERNIKA-LUMO1 Ariane ENSUNZA ALDAMIZETXEBARRIA Universidad del País Vasco/EHU* [email protected] Abstract It is a long time since dialectal researches have taKen a new course, focused on urban sPoKen varieties more than on rural varieties. Moreover, they focus on the interaction between indePendent variables and linguistic variables. Nevertheless, this is not the case of the Basque language, as there have been few researches from this point of view. The aim of this contribution is to show that Basque is not an isolated case; as a living language it has changed through time and it is, indeed, changing nowadays. The focus of the research is the variant of the basque sPoKen in GerniKa, and it is based in 5 linguistic variables which Present a sociolinguistic variation of Palatalization: variable (is), variable (it), variable (il), variables (ind) and (ild) and variable (i_V). The realizations of these variables have been studied taking into account some indePendent variables such as age, genre, Parent’s origin and school.

  • The Construction of the Basque Polarized Pluralism
    The Construction of the Basque Polarized Pluralism Francisco J. LLERA RAMO Universidad del País Vasco Working Paper n.64 Barcelona 1993 The political transition from the authoritarian system to the pluralist regime started in December 1976 with the Political Reform Act and finished with the approving referenda of Constitution and Statutes, being the first one (December 1978) general for the State and the second (October 1979) specific for the Basque Country. The following stage in both cases was that of starting the previously designed institution-building process to result in a third phase that we might define as consolidation of the democratic system which is the present one. The Basque people have been called to polls more than twelve times since the first free elections in 1977. They have voted the composition of the Houses in Madrid and Vitoria, of the regional institutions of Alava, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya, of the city councils and even of the European Parliament, not to mention the four referenda. At the regional level, the "inaugural" 1980 election opened a period of political alignment and institution-building hegemonized by the PNV (Partido Nacionalista Vasco, Basque Nationalist Party) in a context of strong anti-centralist mobilization and of maximum activity of the radical nacionalism's armed organisms at the same time as ETApm decided its disolution. The second elections of 1984 were of "passage", extending the previous situation to a term shortened by PNV's parliamentary weakening eventually leading to its early split at the time of defining the internal organization of the Basque Country with the LTH as well as its alliance-politics.

  • Industrial Culturescape: Territory As Context
    Sustainable Tourism VIII 237 INDUSTRIAL CULTURESCAPE: TERRITORY AS CONTEXT ANA SCHMIDT Provincial Government of Biscay, Spain National University of Distance Education (UNED), Spain ABSTRACT The European Landscape Convention has contributed to understanding landscape as an important component of collective well-being and highlighted the need to manage the entire territory as a landscape. The Nervion estuary, Abra Bay and mining area deserve to be considered an urban cultural landscape, because of their heritage value and singular beauty. The landscape of the Nervion and Abra has developed over time, above all, throughout the period of industrialisation. Restoring the industrial heritage landscape, such as the old mining railways, may bring the existing cultural landscape closer to the environment of the people who live in these areas. This study categorises the heritage elements and traces of the Orconera mining railway, in order to understand the current landscape and determine a proposal for action to preserve them and restore the mining railway line as a green infrastructure. In this case, preservation as a sustainable landscape means proposing a new use for it as cultural landscape and tourism. Although industrialisation has had a serious impact on the development of the whole Bilbao metropolitan area, the mining-industrial heritage includes sites that are somewhat unexplored and overlooked by urban policies. Keywords: cultural landscape, cultural tourism, industrial cultural heritage, industrial tourism, mining railways. 1 INTRODUCTION In the study we carried out on the Nervion Estuary, its banks, the Abra Bay and the mining area within the Greater Metropolitan Area of Bilbao, we found a landscape that rightfully comes under the description of cultural landscape, as per this definition in the 1992 UNESCO Convention on Cultural and Natural Heritage.
