The Pedagogical Commons Factory (FabPeda) is an association under the French law of 1901 that was formed in the spring of 2020 during the COVID-19 health crisis to help support educational communities in the challenge of running schools together and thus ensuring the continuity of public education services. The dysfunction of public services during the COVID-19 pandemic may be merely a "foretaste" of crises (social, ecological, economic) to come. The extreme strain placed on administrations could become a new norm. From this perspective, it seems imperative to us that we be able to rely on ALL willingness to ensure the maintenance of public services. The association (initially under the name Faire Ecole Ensemble) was created at the beginning of the health crisis to support the educational community through intensive documentation work, resource sharing, and the promotion of innovative practices. FabPeda reveals and supports communities from diverse backgrounds to bring pedagogical commons to light and make them accessible and scalable.
