Manifesto¶
A free society needs free educational resources.
Education should not depend on commercial interests, restrictive licenses, or proprietary tools. Knowledge is a common good, and as such, it must be accessible, modifiable, and shared by all of society.
- This project is born with a clear purpose: to spread free educational resources for teachers and students worldwide, promoting open, collaborative, and barrier-free education.
- We believe that educational resources should strive for the highest quality in their content (texts, images, programs) while remaining open to critique, improvement, and adaptation by the Educational Community.
- We stand for all content being reusable as free culture. Therefore:
- All content will be distributed under a free license Creative Commons Attribution - ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) version 4.0 or later, ensuring compatibility with projects like Wikipedia and guaranteeing that any derivative work remains free.
- All developed software will be released under a free GPL version 3.0 or later license.
- Resources will be created in open formats, and editable files will always be provided, allowing adaptation and improvement.
- All educational resources will be editable with free tools, without the need for proprietary software.
- This project also assumes a strong ethical commitment:
- No personal or anonymous information will be collected from users.
- No tracking cookies will be used.
- There will be no advertising or sponsored content.
- No financial interest will condition the educational resources.
- Technology must serve freedom. Therefore, the website will be built using exclusively free tools and formats, also publishing its source files and prioritizing a simple, fast, and accessible design, even offline, via static pages.
- In the pedagogical field, we advocate for inclusive and adaptable education:
- All theoretical content will be accompanied by practical exercises.
- For the same content, activities will be offered at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels.
- The same content must cater to the normal diversity of a classroom and can be used at different educational levels as enrichment, reinforcement, or adapted activities.
- We also promote clear, precise, and universal language, facilitating access to knowledge across different cultural and geographical contexts.
This is not just a website. It is a proposal.
An invitation to build, share, and improve truly free education together. Because only a society that shares knowledge can be considered truly free.
