Their values
Education: education is the building block of democracy, and this principle guides our actions. We educate citizens of all ages on democratic life and help them discover Quebec's political institutions in a new light.
Commitment: we believe in the power of numbers; together, we create possibilities. In this spirit, mutual commitment to our donors, partners and collaborators is essential to achieving our mission. Together, we are doing more and better for education and democracy.
Accessibility: democracy is for everyone, anytime, anywhere. Our programs are designed to make Parliament accessible and intelligible to citizens of all ages, geographical origins and situations. Our priority is to open the doors of the citizen's House to those who wish to explore it!
Openness: we welcome diversity in all its forms. Plurality of experience is a collective strength. Our innovative programs are driven by inclusion and inspired by best practices.
