About

We believe in the “usefulness of useless knowledge”.

Our Vision

Humanities and social sciences have never enjoyed a privileged position as a source of knowledge. And it seems that nowadays, this perception of them as being useless has been cemented. However, we believe in the “usefulness of useless knowledge”. Because, by obtaining sociological or political knowledge, we cultivate and improve our critical thinking skills and consequently, we make better decisions that can contribute to the solution of social problems. Also, we acquire a better understanding of how society works and how it can be changed in ways that promote social equality and cohesion. Therefore, we become more responsible persons and citizens, motivated to take action. We envision such a knowledgeable society, and we have decided to contribute to its enhancement, through the current technological and other transformations in the cultural heritage sector.

Our Mission

Our main mission is to:

• Promote open access to culture; and 
• Contribute to the democratization of knowledge through the research, educational and creative possibilities offered by open access.

After all, it is culture and knowledge that make us who we are. They are a constitutive element of our being, and not luxurious services to be enjoyed by the privileged ones during leisure time.

Our goals

We aim to:

• help anyone interested become acquainted with the digital platforms of cultural heritage, along with the creative possibilities they offer;
• contribute to the expression of creativity through the reuse of open digital cultural content; and
• help internet users cultivate and improve their skills so as to participate actively in the (trans)formation of culture.
