Some features on Weduc will be unavailable until the Association profile is validated by our services.

While the validation process takes place, you can start building your network by sending connection

requests to schools or entities you are connected to in real life as a Director, Teacher or Parent. With

a single password, you will be able to access all your different profiles on Weduc.

Association Public Profile

that can be visited by users and non-users of the

platform.

Each user in an Association can navigate on

Weduc with their different profiles.

There are two profiles for Associations – Managers

and Members – which can be added to the other

types of profile on the platform. Each member can

be connected to more than one entity under the

same account.

be only visible to some commitees within the Association

or to organise members by groups with specific calendars.

Sending private messages
