| How it works |
|
The Peace Centre ‘Baketik’ is part of the objectives and structure of the Arantzazu Baketik Foundation and is the heart of the project of the Foundation, because it includes, represents and acts as a channel for implementing all the objectives of the foundation. The Arantzazu Baketik Foundation has been driven by the Franciscans. Franciscans are present in the Peace Centre through the Board of Trustees, whose members are chosen by the founders. They participate in major decisions through the Board. However, they do not intervene in the management of the projects, nor in decisions taken on a daily basis. The Centre and its governing board are independent in their functions and work on the basis of accepted projects. The organs in the structure of Baketik are: the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, the Governing Board, the Advisory Committee and the Management of the Centre. The Board of Trustees. This is the top level of governance of the Foundation. It regulates the general operations of Baketik, supervises compliance with the aims of the foundation and approves the budget, contracting and appointments to the governing organs. It is made up of persons who are appointed by the founding members. The Governing Board. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation delegates the monitoring of the governance of the Peace Centre to a Governing Board that is plural in its composition. It consists of twelve members, plus the Director and the Manager. The Governing Board monitors the work of the Peace Centre by delegation from the Board of Trustees. The composition of this body sets out to respond to a wide range in terms of gender, age, origin, disciplines, national identities or political sensibilities. It meets at least four times a year. It approves, modifies or rejects work plans and collaborates in their implementation. The people who make up the Governing Board are: Mikel Hernansanz The Advisory Board.
