SETEM Hego Haizea

SETEM Euskadi investigates and documents the financial relationships between Spanish banks and the international arms trade from its base in the Basque region. The organization produces investigative reports and documentary films tracking how European financial institutions facilitate weapons manufacturing and distribution. Their research specifically examines how conventional banking practices connect to global resource conflicts and military escalation. The organization's educational initiatives focus on linking everyday financial decisions to broader patterns of resource exploitation and economic instability. SETEM Euskadi partners with regional government bodies to implement community programs like the Care Architectures workshops. These programs develop local models for sustainable development while addressing gender inequity in economic systems. SETEM Euskadi's work integrates financial oversight, peace education, and alternative economic development. The organization builds networks between civil society groups working on banking reform, conflict prevention, and community care systems. Their initiatives prioritize transforming financial structures that perpetuate resource extraction and militarization into frameworks supporting social equity.
