Timeline
The story of Parole d’excluEs
The impact of social exclusion is devastating on living conditions; difficulty in accessing work, education and health, loss of dignity, social ties and identity, brief loss of active citizenship. But everywhere, people are struggling to get by, individually and collectively. The word is given to people and citizens who refuse to be social objects to become the actors of their own history.
