Popular education
Popular education is the freedom of everyone to share and access knowledge:
the basis for a better world!
Sharing thoughts and initiatives, achievements on digital, commons and social
justice.

Archipelago
In an archipelago where each⋅e is an island (with its own identity) swimming
in common waters (the same values), cooperating is a matter of course!

Isn’t this a bit political?
At Framasoft,
we dream of a better world
. We don’t want to encourage
a current system that is problematic (surveillance capitalism).
We want to contribute to another system, which favours the commons.
A path of hope, that is!
→ It’s political, because we are going
against the grain of a capitalist
vision
where personal data is a source of enrichment for multinationals.
→ It’s political because
preserving our freedoms is fundamental
to
maintaining a not too shabby democracy.
→ It’s political because we want to
cooperate
with those who defend
this vision of the world.
We have expressed all this clearly and sincerely, in a manifesto:

Giving everyone the power to act, through the power to understand!
Prejudices:
clarification
“Framasoft must be neutral”: no! I’m not sure what the problem is,
but I’m sure it’s a good one.
“Framasoft should grow”: no more! We value our
small size
which allows
us to have quality links between members.
“Framasoft does a lot of things, so it has a lot of money”: not true!
Our association
depends on you
, on your donations.
The image of Framasoft is sometimes out of step with reality (it happens
even to the best!).
We take stock in a few minutes of video.
Accompanying those who want to change the world towards digital uses consistent with their values, that’s what we like!
