The Coredem
The ‘Coredem’ initiative encourages organisations, networks, social movements and media from different countries to make their resources and documents available online, in order to turn them useful and accessible to external readers, mutualise them through various tools (including a specific search engine), and exchange on shared concerns.
Because sustainable society and global democracy have yet to be built, because water, natural resources, fundamental rights, agriculture, the promotion of a culture of peace or the questions posed by science are shared preoccupations, because the global economic system needs to be reinvented, new tools for information-sharing need to be developed.
Participants of Coredem are linked by the common findings:
- Information is a “common”, which in the tradition of free software, is reflected in the concepts of empowerment and knowledge sharing
- Information is a strategic asset
- Current techniques of information and communication increasing access to knowledge
- Sharing knowledge, experience are part of the conditions of democracy
Objectif 1 : Promoting the appropriation and use of digital tools for local and global citizens’ action. [ … ]
Objectif 2 : Promoting a collective reflection at the national and international level
The building of links between media, NGOs and social movements of the North and the South is developed thanks to the collective publication (review= critique) Passerelle, which consists in a selection of articles on a specific issue from the Coredem webspace and others websites from civil society with relevant resources. [ … ]
Each publication is followed by a meeting between the Coredem participants and more, in order to create a sharing space between a variety of actors. These meetings are called the “Wednesday of the Coredem”. [ … ]

The Passerelle Collection
With the Passerelle Collection, the Coredem focuses on issues that provoke debate.
Activists from associations, unions, international networks, as well as researchers or lawyers bring together their contributions in this collective publication and its associated spaces of debate called Mercredis de la Coredem.
Objectives of the Collection Passerelle:
- deal with current issues of debate, through analyses and reflections from field and research work;
- decryption of these issues, in order to contribute to the politcal debate, the exchange of ideas and the promotion of alternatives;
- support the actors of social transformation with their editorial projects by mutualising information and giving visibility to their productions, always ensuring their independence.
In this section, you will find the different issues of the Passerelle Collection published in English. The other issues of the collection are also available online. They were published French, Portuguese, and/or Spanish.
