The Basauri City Council, through the ZirtZart program, is launching a new meeting point for young people called "Haritik Harira". The goal of this initiative is to provide a space where young people aged 16 to 30 can collectively analyze and share topics related to their reality and concerns.
The program will be developed as a pilot experience and will consist of five in-person sessions, each lasting an hour and a half, once a month, between January and May. The sessions will start from various cultural proposals, such as books, films, documentaries, or series, and will be used to address topics of youth interest: mental health, emotional management, personal relationships, identity, diversity, care, life projects, and current social challenges.
The facilitation will be carried out by young people with cultural interests and a psychology professional, combining complementary approaches to foster dialogue, reflection, and active participation. "Haritik Harira" aims to be a safe, approachable, and participatory space that promotes critical thinking and active listening.
Registration can be done from December 1st to January 15th, either through the Youth Service website or in person at the Youth Information Office (Autonomía street 3). The number of places will be limited, with preference given to individuals holding the ZirtZart Membership Card. Additionally, a deposit of 10 euros will be established, which will be refunded to participants who attend at least 75% of the scheduled sessions.
According to the organizers, it is important to create spaces for young people to express their concerns and build collective reflections on the issues that affect them daily. "Haritik Harira" will ultimately be a space to pause, think, share, and pull the thread of topics that invite reflection as young people and as a society.
