1
“No need is eternal, nor is it universal.
Historically, a need has always been a
sign of a lack of something that has to
be addressed and that calls for a break
in continuity. There are needs, natural
needs, which have to be continuously
fulfilled; the manner in which we react
to these needs is not natural, it is historic
and social. Not everyone addresses
hunger in the same way. Today, the
need to think is a unique example: it is
a response to empowerment; universal,
given that domination exists in all
spheres of this thing we have the habit of
calling life. Recognizing the universality
of the need to think is recognizing the
urgency of the blatant lack of freedom
that both nature and our societies are
subject to.”
william ross, philosophy graduate student.

OUR STARTING POINT
The presumption of intellectual equality: provoking
equality by presuming it exists! We are convinced
that everyone has the need, right and ability to
think, create and react as a citizen in order to rebuild
tomorrow’s society.
WHY?
NEED
RIGHT
ABILITY
“Today, the need to think
is a unique example: it is a
response to empowerment;
universal, given that
domination exists in all spheres
of this thing we have the habit
of calling life. Recognizing the
universality of the need to
think is recognizing the urgency
of the blatant lack of freedom
that both nature and our
societies are subject to.”
Article 26.1 and 2
“Submitting or fighting was
not about knowing or not
knowing, it was about trusting
in individuals and in people
as a whole’s ability to build
another world. The starting
point of social emancipation,
[…] confirmation, here and now,
of an equal ability [to think and
react].”
William Ross,
Philosophy Graduate Student.
“Everyone has the right to
education.
Education shall be directed to
the full development of the
human personality and to the
strengthening of respect for
human rights and fundamental
freedoms.”
Article 27
“Everyone has the right freely
to participate in the cultural life
of the community, to enjoy the
arts and to share in scientific
advancement and its benefits.”
Jacques Rancière,
in an interview with the Journal
des Grandes Écoles, 2012.
The Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, 1948.

MISSION
In order to build an inclusive, creative and thoughtful community
Exeko uses creativity as a driver for social transformation; both
creativity of the mind, through philosophy and critical thinking,
and creative actions, such as art and culture. We use cultural and
intellectual mediation every day and in everything we do for at
risk, homeless and marginalized people to promote intellectual
emancipation and social inclusion.
EMANCIPATION
INCLUSION
“Intellectual emancipation is, in other
words, the ability to learn by oneself and
without a master explicator.”
“Critical thinking is the capacity to weigh
pros and cons, to form opinions
and arguments, to analyse, to progress,
and not to be afraid…”
Jacques Rancière, Philosopher.
idAction Program Participant.
WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL
EMANCIPATION?
Self-thinking, empowering ones
thoughts, breaking away from intellectual
tutelage (especially the kind of speech
manipulation we see every day in adverts)
and developing critical thinking.
Pushing oneself to the limits, putting
things into perspective, analysing society
and developing ones potential.
6
We have to re-standardize society so
that it reflects everyone’s vision, rather
than adapting driving forces to fit some
people’s vision.
ACCESSIBILITY AND
CO-CREATION PROJECTS…
FROM
DEMOCRATIZATION…
TO INTELLECTUAL
AND CULTURAL
DEMOCRACY…
= Making culture (installations, films,
hands-on activities, paintings, etc.)
and intellect (conferences, books, etc.)
accessible.
= Co-creating knowledge, a bidirectional
approach to mutual participation,
co-creating knowledge that we did
not have before.
… UNLIKELY MEETINGS
BROUGHT ABOUT BY INTELLECTUAL
MEDIATION
“Intellectual mediation is an educational and philosophical
practice, which consists of creating egalitarian situations for
collective thinking and the sharing of knowledge.
These situations define a framework for the co-creation
of social analysis and critical thinking in adverse conditions.
This approach presumes equal intellect and addresses
the universal need to think and to be recognized
as a thinker.”

RESPECTING EXPERTISE
“Social emergencies and social challenges should not be society’s cross to bear alone.
We work with experts from three different sectors, which, we believe, provides Exeko
with the expertise needed for intellectual emancipation and social inclusion.”

“Dealing with raw incoherence on a daily basis influences
my life choices. Identifying an action is such a fragile thing
to do. This morning, to put it simply, we got into each
other’s heads, that’s how comfortable everyone was, we
were shocked by how much we enjoyed ourselves. This
morning Exeko warmed our hearts. In this small room
hundreds of doors were opened. In short… I admire the
work you do and how you make listening and having your
say an integral part of the workshop, I think that is why it
works so well.”
Mélanie Charbonneau, an Accueil Bonneau facilitator, talking about an idAction workshop.

“Something which really sticks in my mind: talking about
capitalism, the four of us sitting at an entrance/exit to the
Metro, looking at the passers-by, them looking at us. It made
me imagine two worlds; the one of the people on the ground,
static, the ‘lower’ world, and the other world where people
move around really quickly, the ‘upper’ world, really high
up! Our discussion was so true, so well thought out, that all I
wanted to do was to stop the passers-by and get them to join
our bubble. To take five minutes out of their lives to talk to this
man who had such a clear picture of our society. So, when’s the
next Metro discussion group?”
Clara Tourneur, idAction Mobile Volunteer.
