Historical information of RAONS

Relation of the last acts carried out

The entity RAONS was born, as it figures in its statutes, on the 18th of June of 2003.

In spite of this, the idea about creating an entity of this type appears at the end of 2002 when a group of politogist and sociologists of our regions met with the idea of continuing making courses activities related with their disciplines, like social gatherings, or, even, creating an entity that could organize acts open to everybody, attempting to cover an empty space in our society, besides introducing the particularities of our disciplines.

The idea starts to thrill, and at the beginning of year 2003 the first meetings are celebrated, and, little by little, more people get interested in . In the spring of the same year, the statutes of the entity, as well as the foundational act, are signed by 23 persons.

At present, the entity is formed by 30 members, and 30 sympathizers. If you want to adhere, you can make it through raons@lasequia.org

Together with these members, we also have 20 persons that integrate what we calls "Friends/Amics of RAONS", collective formed by journalists, teachers, designers, politics, psychologists... who have shown a special interest in the entity, even though, can not be members. In any case, these persons are invited expressly to the social gatherings of RAONS and briefed punctually of our activities. If you want to be a member, in a totally free way, you can send us a mail to raons@lasequia.org
