Core values

- **Addressing Societal Needs and Issues**: APC's strategies focus on policy and regulatory change, digital inclusion, environmental justice, and the empowerment of marginalized groups, particularly women and diverse sexualities and genders. This addresses significant societal needs such as digital exclusion, environmental degradation, and social inequality[2].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The project aims to enhance the quality of life by promoting free, open, and sustainable digital technologies, ensuring internet access as a global public good, and advocating for human rights and social justice. This includes efforts to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of digital technologies and to support communities in using the internet to adapt to and combat climate change[2].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: APC works towards transformative actions, building collective power within communities, and shaping digital technologies to reflect and respond to the lived realities of diverse groups. This includes promoting feminist principles of the internet, environmental justice, and sustainable practices[2].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: The project strengthens community networks, supports local access and community networks, and fosters intergenerational solidarity and social cohesion. It also works to ensure that digital technologies are used in ways that promote social and environmental justice and human rights[2].
