Founding values
Founding values
Respect for autonomy and capacity to act
LabPop welcomes groups and citizens in their entirety, with their rhythm, their ways of doing or being, and their similarities and differences.
Integrity and equity
LabPop demonstrates honesty, equity and responsibility in its choices and actions. Every member is entitled to fair, equal and reasonable treatment.
Creativity for social transformation
Through its role in social transformation, LabPop is always seeking innovative practices. It strives to develop original ways of naming, understanding and acting on the oppression experienced by target populations. It thus enables participants to learn differently, taking into account their knowledge, practices and experiences.
Solidarity, cooperation and collaboration
LabPop promotes the commitment of individuals, collaborative work and solidarity among groups. It initiates activities that lead to the co-construction of shared visions of solidarity and social justice to be promoted. It values participatory democracy where members, participants and partners have the opportunity to be involved in consultation and decision-making.
Territorial acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the lands on which we carry out our activities are part of the traditional territories of the First Peoples, notably the Anishinabeg Nation.
