This three-part presentation explores the decolonization of knowledge and the reinvention of power. To do this it goes back to the evolution of the initials ATD since the founding of ATD Fourth World in 1957. Focusing on the period of intense institutional creation that followed the death of its founder in 1988 the talk seeks to identify the mysterious revolutionary force of inclusion in order to act All Together in Dignity.

Maria Theron invites us to enter into a reflection on the passing from personal experience to collective knowledge.

Marie-Odile Nevert brings a reflection on the constructed knowledge of action as a production of happiness.
