Nonprofit association · Declared in Paris
ODERSA (Organisation pour le Développement de l’Éducation, des Ressources et des Savoirs Accessibles) is a French nonprofit association (loi 1901). We design and publish free, openly licensed educational resources with no data collection, and run occasional activities on the ground. Everything we put online can be verified in a few clicks.

In ten seconds
A French nonprofit association declared in Paris on 13 May 2026, run entirely by volunteers: its members design, publish, and administer everything themselves.
Free educational resources online, with no account and no ads, published under the open CC BY 4.0 license and ready to reuse in class or in a workshop.
Students, teachers, activity leaders, families, the curious: in France and worldwide, with content designed for several languages from the start.
Our online project

Avant d’y croire (French for “Before believing it”) teaches how to check a piece of information before believing or sharing it: 10 habits explained simply and 750 interactive training cases, in 7 languages. Misleading headlines, images taken out of context, fake experts, distorted figures: you practice on concrete cases, at your own pace, with no account to create.
Teachers and activity leaders can reuse all of it freely: the content is under the CC BY 4.0 license, the data downloads as JSON, and a workshop booklet prints in a few clicks. The site works on a phone and stays available offline after the first visit.
Our mission
“To promote and make accessible to all, free of charge and without any commercial consideration, education, training, and the transmission of knowledge.”
Articles of association, article 2 (excerpt, translated from French)
This mission covers school, university, professional, cultural, and civic education, in France and internationally. It shows in every everyday choice: free access with no conditions, open licenses, and public figures anyone can recount.
