of social and ethnic minorities. As a specialist for Southeast
Asia he has effected numerous missions in Laos, Cambodia,
Thailand and Myanmar on projects relating to children of the
streets. An educational specialist for 20 years, he has been
a department head for the past 8 years at the ACDLJC, which
concentrate on the street work in Barbes, in the quarter of
la Goutte d'Or in Paris. He concentrates on the system of
relationships between minority groups faced to dominant groups.
At the base of its analytical system is personalised work
and fieldwork. He is proposing a project for a nomad school
and library and to develop in this most destitute environment
problems concerning education, and adaptation. This social
and educational dimension is not the easiest one to approach
but for us it is essential as our interest is to offer the
opportunity to the population and local minorities to re-value
and develop themselves. Brief biography
