Training courses committed to greater equality
At Equipop, we consider training to be an essential lever for strengthening skills and encouraging positive collective dynamics. Inspired by the principles of popular education, our training courses support professionals and organizations in their reflection and action towards greater equality.
Our approach is based on three fundamental principles:
- Participatory teaching : We encourage the exchange of knowledge and the co-construction of knowledge by actively involving participants in the learning process.
- Valuing experiences and backgrounds : Our training courses take into account the real-life experiences and expertise of participants for a more practical approach that is tailored to current issues.
- A framework for reflection and action : Our training courses invite participants to question their practices and explore avenues for development, both individually and collectively, without imposing any prescriptions.
Our trainers, who come from a variety of backgrounds, continuously reflect on their practices in order to continually adapt to the context and needs.

Educational approaches that resonate with our feminist principles of action
Equipop's educational approaches are based on a few fundamental feminist principles: they are political, contextualized, and designed to contribute to collective dynamics of transformation, while taking care of individuals.
Our teaching approaches:
Providing tools without prescribing solutions: our training courses are based on the practices and questions of the participants. It is not a question of delivering solutions, but of creating the conditions for collective progress by supporting empowerment—that is, awareness of one's power to act.
Creating the conditions for collective analysis : our training courses facilitate the co-construction of meaning and the sharing of experiences. They promote the production of knowledge rooted in real-world experience.
Working with, not for : participants are recognized as full stakeholders. This stance reflects our desire to question power relations and avoid any form of domination in the educational relationship, as in our partnerships.
Mobilize participatory methods : tools derived from popular education (surveying, photo language, chosen non-mixity, etc.) encourage people to speak up, take a step back and think differently, broaden their perspectives, and strengthen their autonomy of analysis and action. They enable the concrete deployment of an intersectional approach by creating spaces for listening to plural identities.
Anchoring ourselves in the practices of trained individuals : by combining field experience with experiential and more theoretical knowledge, we construct situated analyses. This promotes the institutionalization of feminist values in contexts that are sometimes not conducive to their expression.
Working collectively : we connect committed actors who, together, can make their voices heard. This reflects our desire to support movements for equality and build alliances in our various areas of intervention.
Cultivating continuous self-reflection : we constantly question our practices to ensure that our feminist values are reflected in our teaching approaches and in all our actions.
