<center>'''[[HOWTOPEDIA]]''' is a collaborative platform for practical knowledge and simple technologies, i.e. technologies that require no complex machine, that are easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities for a sustainable and ecological future.<br> '''Fill in the form [[Special:ApplicationForm|here]] if you want to take part to howtopedia''' <br>
Information, education, formation and know-how are vital elements for empowerment: Knowledge does increase individual freedom.
 
Internet is a powerfull media, but very few sites are oriented toward practical know-how. When they are, they are quite inaccessible in the jungle of institutions and interfaces.
 
  
HOWTO is a diffusion platform of practical knowledge and simple technologies, ie. technologies that are easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities.
+
'''Help us to work for more practical articles on simple technologies: Support us financially or send testimonials on how you use howtopedia: they are just as precious! [mailto:info@howtopedia.org So write us!]'''<br>
  
HOWTO will help reinforce the collaboration and knowledge transfer between organizations and individuals accross borders.
+
__NOTOC__ </center>
HOWTO encourages small scale sustainable development by facilitating the dissemination of appropriate technology and stimulating the use or the discovery of local ressources.
