Our approach

Five commitments, and how to check them

Every commitment below is kept by design, not by declaration. Next to each one: a way to check it yourself, without taking our word for it.

Free, for everyone, no strings attached

No paid activity, no gated content, no account to create. What a visitor sees is the whole of what exists: nothing unlocks, nothing costs extra. Free access is not a loss leader: it is the very purpose of the association, written into article 2 of its bylaws: “free of charge and without any commercial consideration”.

Open and reusable, by default

Everything we publish (texts, exercises, data) is under a Creative Commons BY 4.0 license. Teachers, associations, public libraries: reuse it, adapt it, translate it, with no permission needed. An educational resource does more good when it travels: an open license multiplies every hour of work behind it, far beyond our own sites.

Zero data collection

No cookies, no trackers, no third-party analytics, no requests to other servers. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. It is also what makes our tools quick to adopt at school: no student data is processed, so there is nothing to declare and nothing to get signed off.

Accessible, for real

Contrasts calculated to the WCAG AA standard at every publication (the check is blocking), keyboard navigation, readable text, and a settings panel on every page: text size, high contrast, spacing, audio reading. The accessibility statement details what is in place, and what we know about its limits.

Multilingual from the first project

Education does not stop at the borders of the French language. Our first project launched in 7 languages, including Arabic, written right to left, along with Hindi and Bengali: languages rarely served by free educational resources, and spoken by hundreds of millions of people. Languages are planned at the design stage, never tacked on as an afterthought.

Commitments you can see

These five commitments hold for this site and for every project the association runs. They are not a charter framed on a wall: the Method page describes the protocol that keeps them, the Impact & figures page counts what is online, and the Accessibility page owns up to its limits too. You do not have to take our word for it: all of it can be checked.

Real work, free, and verifiable in a click

Partnerships on the ground, support, press: one door, and a reply from a real person.
