Frequently Asked Questions

Mythodologie is a Grenoble-based association that aims to promote critical thinking through the analysis of controversial phenomena and socially relevant scientific topics. It strives to be an inclusive space for exchange and learning, where scientific skepticism is based on respect for freedom of belief and rejection of dogmatism.

Joining Mythodologie means actively engaging to spread and enrich critical thinking in society. By joining the association, you contribute to:

• •Promoting scientific outreach and fighting misinformation.
• •Participating in collaborative projects and events (conferences, workshops, training).
• •Joining a dynamic community that values ethics, respect, and inclusivity.

These commitments offer you the opportunity to develop your skills and have a positive impact on public debate.

The membership process takes place in several steps:

1. 1
   Contact the board – Get in touch to express your interest.
2. 2
   Reading and validation of founding documents – Read and approve our statutes, charter, and internal rules.
3. 3
   Participation in activities – Get involved in some events to familiarize yourself with association life.
4. 4
   Validation by member vote – Your membership will then be submitted to a vote by members.
5. 5
   Membership fee – A fee (the amount varies according to your status) will be required to formalize your membership.

Mythodologie welcomes anyone interested in promoting critical thinking, whether from scientific, educational, journalistic backgrounds, or simply passionate about the subject. To contribute, you don't need to have specific technical skills; what matters most is:

• •Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to rigorously analyze information.
• •An interest in scientific outreach and the exchange of ideas.
• •Communication skills (writing, workshop facilitation, presentation) are an asset for sharing your knowledge and leading events.
• •An ability to work collaboratively and engage in collective projects.

Each contribution, whether creative, organizational, or educational, enriches the association's life and helps spread our values more widely.

Members can contribute in many ways:

• •Creating educational content (articles, videos, presentations) that illustrate critical thinking methods.
• •Leading workshops and conferences to share your knowledge and experiences.
• •Participating in organizing events and collaborative projects.
• •Engaging on social media and collaborative platforms to spread our values and actions.
• •Other: Every contribution, whatever its form, is valued and helps enrich the association's life.

Being a member of Mythodologie does not confer particular material or financial benefits. The role of member mainly involves:

• •Voting rights at assemblies, allowing participation in collective decisions.
• •A closer link with the association, its activities, and projects.
• •A mark of personal commitment, reflecting your adherence to the association's values and mission.

Thus, member status is more a form of civic engagement than a means of receiving rewards or exclusive benefits.

Mythodologie's mission is to promote enlightened critical thinking and provide tools to rigorously analyze controversial phenomena. The association is committed to scientific outreach that respects freedom of belief while opposing dogmatism and misinformation. It values ethics, inclusivity, and democratic dialogue in all its projects.

Fees vary according to status: regular member, student, or person in precarious financial situation. These contributions fund our activities (conferences, training, publications) and guarantee the association's independence.

Members can follow the association's news via our official website and social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). Newsletters and regular updates (notably on platforms like Echosciences) will keep you informed about upcoming conferences, workshops, and other initiatives.

Members actively engage in the association's life: their membership requires validation by vote and involves a defined fee. Supporters, on the other hand, support our actions without going through this formal process. They are invited to respect our founding documents, but their status does not require validation by members.
